Master craftsman programs

Well, wish me luck - I finally decided to try for the Master Craftsman in Silk and Metal Embroidery. There were several terms mentioned I did not recognize, so we'll see how it goes. Luckily I have plenty of time to get each submission in. It looks to be a good challenge, so I'm looking forward to this one. I figured I ought to go for it when I realized I was looking at a class for a chinese dragon in metal threads and thinking "I can do that, it looks like fun". Good hint, huh?



I have just gotten to test # 5 (of 6) in the Canvas Embroidery Master Craftsman program. So far, my only issues have been very minor. I started it as proof that I could do the work, and, I have to admit, this one has been fairly easy for me. Just time consuming. I've been debating if I even want to finish it, but I will. Just to say I did, I guess.

Cpngrats on deciding to go for it, Fran. Are you doing it thru EGA? Should be quite a journey.

Good for you. Keep up all that great work.

Congratulations on your continuing success in Canvas Embroidery and in your choice for the next mastery. If anyone is interested in the surface embroidery program, they can view some of the passed results here:

Admittedly some of the pics are less than ideal and come a bit wrinkled, but you can still see the skill that goes in them. These are wonderful programs through EGA. Really stretch your skills.Best wishes, Fran!

Good for you. I'm still struggling with a border for the master Craftsman in Counted Thread. I can't let go of the "I want it to be perfect." But I think I'm nearly past it in my head. I've got to get to some real progress on this.

And I had my first exposure to real gold thread this weekend. Kimberly Servello has a lovely Elizabethan purse that is all non-linear blackwork and gold and she taught it at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Smart Days in Culpeper, VA. I now have mastered the plaited braid stitch with Kreinik. But I was attempting to do it with the gold and ARGH! This is going to a challenge. We started a yahoogroup for support and soon we may all be moaning there...

I can't choose which is more incredible than the rest. :~) They're all astounding to me. Particularly when you get to see them up close.

Did you see the schwalm embroidery example at the closing banquet in Pittsburgh? Now that's the type of schwalm I'd like to try! The pieces offered for classes so far have not impressed me at all - too heavy for my tastes.
