I did one to imitate blackwork using a small tip and regular black
icing.  I too would not know if marzipan would work.  I would
suspect one would need to use icing to do the "embroidery" part.

Although... what if one rolled the marzipan firmly, then sliced it
very thinly and narrow?  One would need to be a bit daft to do it...
as well as deft, I suppose.
