PIEEJAMĀS DARBNĪCAS / WORKSHOPS available:
* Pogu meistarklase / Button making class
Darbnīcā parādīšu, kā no auduma un diegu gabaliņiem radīt pogas, izmantojot senlaicīgas pogu darināšanas metodes. Agrāk pogas bijušas milzu vērtē, turklāt gadsimtiem ilgi šos smalkos aksesuārus cilvēki darinājuši pašu rokām. Pogas nav bijušas tikai aizdares mehānisms – tās personalizēja valkātāja apģērbu, stāstot par cilvēka izcelsmi, nodarbošanos, interesēm un pat par stāvokli sabiedrībā.
Darbnīcā tu varēsi radīt šos dekoratīvos mini aksesuārus pats – vai nu kādam, kas pēcāk tās pogājot vienmēr iedomāsies par tevi, vai pats sev, lai vizuāli atsvaidzinātu kādu sev mīļu apģērbu. Izstāstīšu arī, kā tās pārvērst par vilinošām smaržu pogām un citus sen aizmirstus pogu trikus un darināšanas tehnikas. Pieejami vairāki pogu darināšanas veidi un tādēļ pogu darbnīcas viena no otras var arī atšķirties, darbnīcas saturs var tikt pielāgots auditorijai. Visi nepieciešamie materiāli būs darbnīcā uz veitas. Vienas darbnīcas ilgums ~ 4 h
In this workshop I will show you how to make buttons from little pieces of fabric and thread, while using historical methods of button-making. Buttons have never been just a way to close your clothes – it personalizes the wardrobe of its owner, gives us an insight into the wearer’s occupation and interests and even the status in society. Besides, for centuries people have known how to make their own beautiful, delicate buttons if in need and why don’t you too? Make a button or two for yourself or someone special who will always remember you while buttoning it. I will also show you how to create a perfumed button. There is more than one way how to make a button so the workshops may differ from one another.  I can also adjust the contents of the workshop according to your planned audience. All of the necessary materials for the class will be there. Approximate duration of the workshop – 4 h

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 Getting judgemental looks while putting it together. Swipe right for the close-up of this Corvus cornix face #crow #embroideredcrow #handembroidery #embroideredpin #embroideredbird #commisionedcraft #embroideredbirds #embroideredbirdsofinstagram #crowofjudgement #crowofinstagram #baibarieber I have crow's feet jeb man ir vārnu kājiņas 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hey there, I'm still here and still stitching :) although I must say I had to go through a rough patch while figuring out how to regain my personal balance in this challenging period of crazy inflation, war, brexit and broken supply chains without loosing myself, my skills and creativity. Some things had to be put aside and I can definitely say that in the nearest future you will see here a lot more hand embroidery and small scale work rather than sewing clothing and hosting workshops. Also IG posts will be less frequent as I'm trying to combine a full time job with the embroidery comissions. I'm currently working on a couple of needlepainted birds and an embroidered miniature box. Stay tuned ❤️ Baiba I guess I did allright if a three year old recognised himself in a portrait. A portrait of a young gentleman. Ēnu drupačas. #handembroidery #monochrome #monochromeembroidery #embroideredportrait #blackandwhiteembroidery #blackworkembroidery Coming up next - a portrait of a very much loved, special person. Playing with light and shadow. #monochromeembroidery #monochrome #embroideredportrait #blackworkembroidery #handembroidery #blackandwhiteembroidery #withneedleandthread #baibarieber #izšuvums #izšūtsarroku #portrets /Eng below/ Kāpēc portreti ir kastītē? Dagerotipi mūsdienās ir retums to trausluma dēļ. Lai pasargātu dagerotipus no gaisa, gaismas, mitruma un laika, uzreiz pēc fotografēšanas tie tika ievietoti mazās, smalki izstrādātās kastītēs. Kastītes iekšpusē dagerotipi parasti likti ar dekoratīvu metāla rāmējumu un polsterēti ar samta oderīti uz kuras nereti redzams kāds dekoratīvs motīvs reljefā. Ne vienmēr rūpīgi veidotā kastīte spējusi apturēt “laika zobu”. Apzinoties dagerotipu trauslumu un retumu, tas sķiet brīnums, ka tos iespējams apūkot arī mūsdienās.
