Kind of OT, I've added a new album at webshots called 'Other crafts' (yes I know it's incredible I do do other stuff than stitch :- O) Anyway it's with crochet, lacemaking drawing and painting later.
Today I made a bracelet, the technique is called Tin thread embroidery. Check it out at
The bracelet is very elegant. Is it embroidered or woven?
Your handkerchief reminds me of times gone by. I have a couple of hankies in my stash, packed away with tatting thread and the right size needle to make a few for gifts. Maybe I'll get them out and actually do something with them.
This one is braided around a strip of leather, others can be sewn onto wider strips (hence the embroidery part). It was really easy to make.
Added two more albums: Drawings and Watercolors, check them out:
