Another interesting medium is gold work. Comes expensive but is

Her stitching is truly gorgeous and I'd say it's a huge notch above your everyday hobby stitcher. She does a variety of stitching techniques in different mediums, and her blog entries make for some fascinating reading (even if you're only a lowly hobby stitcher like I am).
Oh so beautiful but I know I definitely don't have the patience.
The "lead" work on "How Great Thou Art" was enough for me.
