Bjarne, > I had to painstakely sit and embroider every single day, also even when i got home from my real job
Given your talent, it somehow does not seem fair that you are not doing your craft full time but out there sluggin' at a full time job and coming home tired to work at your passion. But as they say, whoever said life had to be fair. I have a frame but like the one you have MUCH better. I was going to ask you where you got it. It looks period enough to use at reenactments and mine looks too modern. >dress is a cotton voille and its sheer and it helps that you can see trough the fabric as a beginner The course I took on tamboured lier lace with Greet Rome-Verbeylen was done on cotton net which you can easily see through. It doesn't snag as much as fabric but I am more interested in doing it on fabric for use with costume and accessories for the regency period. >it took me about 10 days till i finally had the right twist to make tambour, you must remember i was desperate There is nothing like pressure and deadlines and desperation to force one to achieve. Once again Bjarne, thanks to you I am inspired to try again. I love seeing your work and miss the old web sight where I would often go for eye candy and inspiration. Glad to see that you have some new things posted now. Many thanks for chiming in.
