As I've made a couple of posts in the last week, it seems a good idea to introduce myself. I am one of those generally in the shadows of the
*lurking forest*, so to speak, and sometimes I rustle the leaves to let everyone know that I am here :)
I live in Indianapolis, am a member of the EGA and my first love is between embroidery and counted work. I have recently registerd for the Silk and Metal Master Craftsman program through the EGA as well as the Design program - obviously I must have too much time on my hands or something... I couldn't decide between the two programs so signed up for both.
Currently am working on some liturgical embroidery for a monastery (Orthodox), an icon of Christ in petitepoint, a Long Dog Sampler for a friend of mine who is going to have her first baby in a few months (hopefully the baby won't be a toddler by the time I have completed it) and Smoky Mountain Cats (currently not being worked on)... Oh yeah, I pay for such things by being a Transportation Planner for the Indianapolis Metropolitan region - it pays the bills and keeps me in fibers :)
