Crochet Portraits

Check out http://www.johamiltonart.com/.   Winter, 2009 issue of Interweave Crochet, page 96, shows some of jo hamilton's crocheted faces.  The rest are on her website.  She also crocheted the city of Portland, not once but twice.  This is crochet art!  
  I am over my head with crochet projects, as well as with life, right now.  I am using the reverse shell afghan stitch to crochet an afghan for myself this time.  Finally something for me is in the works!  Self-only crocheters are rare.    This says so much about themselves, don't you think?
