Close ups from my FIRST embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework! We had to embroider a GIANT stitch sampler that was designed by an embroiderer in the year above. Second pic shows my first attempt of long and short stitch.Happy times for me, it was the first time I had stitched on or heard of a slate frame and had to learn to stitch with two hands. Loved every minute. Appleton wools on a tie dye backing, no idea of the fabric could be sateen. 🤣🤣 . . . #stitchsampler #crewelembroidery #crewelwork #appletonwool #woolembroidery #royalschoolofneedlework #stitchersofinstagram #trellisstitch #LongAndShortStitch #laidcouching #herringbonestitch #chainstitch #needlepainting #threadpaintingartist #sampler #HeyThereMaker #embroidererylover #stemstitch #ricanoamano #woolstitch #woolembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/COX9W_2Ln5K/?utm_medium=tumblr
Posted in response to the gorgeous sunflower arrangement that my friend @mjrochasd posted today. I've been reading a book about Vincent van Gogh that my younger brother gave me for Christmas last year. Today I read about one of his sunflower paintings, then I saw Mike's post which reminded me of a crewelwork piece my mother created in the 70's of Van Gogh's sunflowers. The synchronicity of the universe is strong today! ~ Matteo #sunflower #sunflowers #vincentvangogh #vangogh #vangoghsunflowers #crewel #crewelembroidery #crewelwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CbA6x3Ju0MA/?utm_medium=tumblr
A throwback to a crewel work embroidery class I taught at The Royal School many moons ago. Stitched in Appleton wools on traditional linen twill I just love the pink accent colour!
I love jewelry... don't get me wrong... But I guess lately anything embroidered is my favorite accessory: Reticules, Garters, Fichus. Oh I want them all. It says in Portuguese "amid the light mists of love that come within "... #fallforcostume2020 #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturyembroidery #crewelembroidery #showyourgarters #costurahistorica #brasilcolonia #mostresuajarreteira #jarretière #jarreteiras https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfutGng20V/?igshid=1wkw9pt4e9621
