Bulgarian artist Stoyanka Ivanova has some beautiful
original Icon patterns & kits for sale through her website
Solaria Gallery. They are meant to be done using petit-pointe, a needlepoint technique that she explains on her website. This technique allows for up to double the number of stitches as with typical 'over two' or aid-cloth cross stitch and the amazing detailing on these designs is the result. I am seriously considering her Iveron Theotokos (left) for my next large project.
