Henry - the pictures do not do her work justice....she uses single silk thread and applies layer upon layer of different colours and textures, with gold thread - she really has unbelievable talent!! Have you looked at her other work on our website...I posted a link earlier - go have a look, when you get to the pictures click on the image to enlarge it, you can see abit more detail then :D
