It's a memoir of a Japanese court lady (I'm suffering from a cold, and can't recall when she lived). One of the charming things in the book are her list. One is of Squalid Things, including the inside of a cat's ear, and the back side of a piece of embroidery. I tend to disagree with her on both of these, but nevertheless, I think of her list every time I look at the back of embroidery. <br /><br />Yours is certainly NOT squalid. More like splendid.

I'm planning to include lots of detail photos in the instruction booklet, similar to the detail photos here (only fully in focus instead of half-unfocussed). And if your idea is "place the gold thread on top of the fabric and stitch it in place with the silk" - you are right! :)a stitch in timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851281042202696086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238357237695791562.post-71863480924399039652015-06-30T20:43:53.339+02:002015-06-30T20:43:53.339+02:00I want one of those kits when they come to your sh...I want one of those kits when they come to your shop. <br />And I like the way the detail photo turned out, you can see every stitch, especially for the middle part. With that picture I can get an idea of how it could be done (I don't know if I'm thinking about the historically correct method though).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
