Here is a print made from a piece of tatted linen.
I have several artists from flickr that I follow and admire. I thought I'd share them here. Sorry I couldn't post the photos directly, but they're protected.
Gooseflesh is an Australian artist who embroiders and crochets. She has made elaborate coral gardens as well as her big project The Rubbish Vortex, made from plastic bags and other junk.

Fi@84 combines hand stitching with felting/fulling and bits from her linen closet.

Jenn, Your print reminds me of the work of Dorothy Caldwell...she uses batik and stitching in her small quilted constructions. She is American but emigrated to Canada during the Vietman war...Look her up...Thanks for all of the flickr artists!!!!
