Expert Panel announcment

It is official.  I will be making my Expert panel in Couching and Laid work presentation to Athena's Thimble (SCA East Kingdom embroidery guild) on September 24, 2016.  From now until then, all embroidery will be focused on that project.

The planned items will be:

  • A Simple couched cord design
  • A banner with cord couched around the applique.
  • A piece based on the Italian pieces I talked about here.
  • The Pelican medallions I did for a friends cloak, discussed here.
  • A piece based on an Icelandic altar frontal (not yet blogged)
  • A piece of underside couching.
  • And, for the "master work" the Marshall hanging, based on the Bayeux tapestry, which has been discussed on several posts.

There are a couple of other items I'm considering as small example pieces -- samplers and "learning example" items.  There will also be a presentation of information on existing pieces used as the inspirations and the form in general.  

So, it's just about exactly 4 months.  There will be plenty of progress posts during that time!

To close, I'll leave you with a shot of one of the animals from the Marshall.
