I've started this crochet technique I call "Graphic Crochet", I'm not real sure what it's suppose to be called.  So far I've made one, with cats on it in orchid and purple, turned out beautiful (like I knew it would) and now I'm making one with  a horse.  I've taken a few pics of half way, just so you'll know the process, and so you can see how tedious this can be.
