Round 2 of Evelyn Ackerman's tapestries. Again, I apologize for the poor image quality on some of the pieces.

UPDATE: I can't believe what just happened. Right after I finished this post, I checked out eBay to see what was new and came across the actual tapestry created from the design pictured in Evelyn's color key illustration in the above photo!!! The eBay seller had no idea who created the piece, though they did say is was "special"; I immediately contacted them to advise them of their good fortune!!! See the piece below.

wow that is insane -good kharma for you, nice thing to do... can't say I wouldn't have been tempted to bid!
Thanks for posting these they are really nice. The king and the Lady
are probably my favourites, but its hard to choose! :-)
ok so the story continues... this morning I just bought the other one the Ackermans are looking at in the photo. It was rolled up and sticking out of a box and I doubt it would have caught my eye if it had not been for your post! thanks so much! pics here http://findfabulous.blogspot.com/2012/02/evelyn-ackerman-hooked-tapestry.html
