In short about taking the course @ecolelesage @le19m One of the best decisions that I have made in my life - to study @ecolelesage @le19m Grateful to all of my tutors for sharing their embroidery knowledge. How cool this box really is? I made someone excited to take the daily pills... Quoting the owner: 'There is nothing glamourous in the fact that you must take the pills to support your body, but at least you can do it glamourously.' #baibarieber #boxmakingskills This embroidered box is a custom made pill box that all together consists of 67 individually measured and manually cut miniature pieces that later were covered with precisely fit silk fabric. The pill box has 7 separate sections with a hidden magnetic snap closure. Each section of the box represents a day of the week therefore the lids are decorated with hand embroidered monograms in goldwork and applique techniques. To open each section more easily, antique metal paper fasteners were attached to the the front of the box for where the finger could catch on. Each paper fastener – knob measures 2 mm in diametr, but the whole pill box together measures only 20 x 3 cm. #baibarieber #goldworkembroidery #boxmaking #pillbox #cartonnage #greenvelvet #blacksilk Progress is slow but I'm almost there. #pillbox #cartonnage #greenvelvet #goldworkembroidery #monogram Making 7 tiny lids for the new embroidered box project. Here I'm using antique paper fasteners that I found @monticelloantiquemarketplace years ago. Back then I had no idea where I'm going to use them but now I'm so glad I bought them. Box coming soon #embroideredbox #cartonnage #pillbox When work inspires itself - a random arrangement on my table. Multiple stringed beads and sequins from @broderieplaisir Learned tips & tricks while embroidering silk tulle ABC and made notes for myself about Luneville hook embroidery. It was also a great finger excersise before I'm going to Ecole Lesage this spring. I'm not sure yet, how devoted I will be to the #lunevillembroidery technique. As I'm stitching this cord on the #silktulle with tiny invisible stitches, twisting and turning to make the effects, I realize that I'm enjoying too much working from the right side of work and seeing how my embroidery develops right in front of my eyes. When working with #lunevillehook the job is done from the wrong side of the work (often), letting only your fingers see the progress. I don't know yet, discovery is also a process. #irenagasha_training #vps_tulle Work in progress...On a New Years eve a head pops in my studio asking: - Hey, what are you doing? Me: - Struggling with tension! (a struggle that once in a while every embroiderer faces when tightening a tricky fabric in the frame) Thank you @irenagasha for setting new challenges and sharing your knowledge once again! #irenagasha_training #lunevillembroidery #embroideryontulle #luneville #embroiderytechniques #vps_tulle Ja arī tev ir zināms kāds ļoti nozīmīgs putns un vēl svarīgāks cilvēks, kurš sev to vēlētos izšūtas piespraudes formātā, sūti man ziņu, jo līdz Ziemassvētkiem varu vēl vienu paspēt 🐦/ Few more pics from the Corvus cornix. If you have a bird in mind I can make it happen for you. What's on the other side of a crow? #embroideredcrow #crowpin #handembroidery
