Making Pictures with Crocheting

[Mary838]

I am looking for a book that will show me how to do pictures by crocheting

I saw pictures on Facebook made my Beata Bylinka and to date haven't

found anything anywhere so I can give it a try.  Is there a website that

I can go on or maybe a "book" that I can purchase to learn how to

do it.

For those who haven't seen these pieces, Beata is one of the freeform crochet artists who posts on facebook.  Her pictures are pretty realistic, and are made of a background to which separate elements are applied, like appliqués.  

Im not aware of a book or instructions on doing this.  There are a number of books on freeform, to give the idea of working without a pattern.  But none on making pictures like this that I know of.  For understanding how to make different shapes, James Walters book Crochet Workshop https://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Workshop-Dover-Knitting-Tatting-ebook/dp/B00JFD9AHW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=James+Walters+crochet&qid=1586364684&sr=8-2 is helpful.  He also has a website on freeform that has some basic lessons.

if you can imagine a shape and crochet it, like a circle or a leaf, you can probably make a picture, it will be an absorbing and interesting project
