Gibson Girl Embroidery in Hoop

So I used an image from a Victorian-style rubber stamp and attempted to convert the black-and-white image to a degree of color similar to the tones in sepia portraits.

 

It was really challenging, but fun, to determine where to place colors for all of the highlights and contours. My hubby doesn't think I can get the same painterly effect with cross stitch, but I think I'll try!
