Oh, yes, I was always amazed at the intricacy of these things! The ones my mother has were made by my grandmother, who managed to wield what looked like a needle-sized crochet hook with thin thread, and she had terrible arthritis to boot...the patience and detail it took still amaze me. We each received a framed one for Christmas a few years ago.
