I found the following series with some interesting tips that I suspect we could all benefit from. We've all encountered a photo that would make an interesting subject for a hooking project, but where to start???
She has 4 videos spread across 2 series:
Here's the first video, where she gets the pattern on to red-dot, but note that she re-does much of this work in the 2nd video as she wasn't happy with the result.
At the end of the video above she explains how she enlarges the photo. I've used some slightly different methods to her, and I'll do a separate blog post on that in the not-too-distant future.

Once she gets the image transferred, she then starts to work on the eye. It's a bit hard to see what she's doing, but the end result is lovely:
From there she starts to tackle the fur:
I couldn't find the completed rug or any further videos addressing this rug, so i sent her an email. She replied to say that she hadn't completed the rug yet, and must get back to it (don't we all have a rug or 2 in this category??). stay tuned for future videos on this topic!
