I practice some of these in a very sporadic way, since embroidery is one of those things that does not hurt if left to lie fallow for a decade or so. And it has occurred to me that it would be very nice to have a tapestry kit of Otto Eckmann's "Five Swans" tapestry. A full-size tapestry kit. Failing which I would have to actually draw it myself. The advantage of this is that I could modify it, and it would be "Five Swans In Lothlorien". The disadvantage is that it just wouldn't happen, because I am idle.

That would be a lovely scene to work on. I did needlepoint in the 1970s and have been thinking about getting back to it, if my hand tendinitis stays under control.

It's not clear whether "Five Swans" was embroidered or woven, since "tapestry" in casual use can mean either, or even just any wall-hung textile. It might even look nice as applique...
