Friday Finds is my weekly round-up of needlework, art, and book news from around the web.

Here are this week’s links:

• A look at artists who are painting and adding adding embroidery to teabags.
• The Spruce has a free embroidery pattern to stitch a mushroom mandala. Cute.
• Sweet profile of a Washington State resident, Eric Miller, who has stitched portraits of all of his children in cross-stitch.
• The NY Times asks, “What’s the Right Age to Read a Book?“
• Kate Kato makes some wonderful paper sculptures inspired by nature.
