Wonderful Doodle Fish

It's not finished yet but there is already so much to see and love on this Doodle Fish embroidered by Mary Corbet  from Needle 'n Thread. I love how the doodled patterns in combination with the Black work embroidery give the image a very graphic quality, like a wonderful old book illustration. Can't wait to see Doodle Fish finished!

p.s. do check out Mary's Video Library of Stitches!  Thanks to Mary's excellent video tutorial I managed to master the French Knot when I was an embroidery newbie.
