Hello Penny, I too am time poor and am just catching up on the photos and forums here. I loved your or nue piece, it is beautiful! I was tempted to make it my screensaver but decided that my daughter would be offended at being displaced and you may be offended by unauthorized use of your work. Your work launched me on a search of Margaret Nicholson and I found a few beautiful images. Did she publish? Can you recommend a book. I have wanted to try or nue but would like to research a little more.
Thanks for taking the time to share your work. I'm looking forward to getting to know and exchanging ideas with other embroiderers. Although there is an embroiderers guild in my city I work in isolation as the meetings don't work with my schedule.
Hi great to meet you too - enjoy reading and catching up on your contributions ! I am time poor and you have done a lot of research :) which I enjoy following.
This was an exercise as part of my goldwork masterclass, but we all tackled Or Nue in a different way (like these caskets no doubt!) I was influenced by the work of Margaret Nicholson, English embroiderer.
But - do you know what - I think straight lines are much harder !
Nice to meet you, Penny :-) A fellow Victorian (I'm in Footscray). That is a rather skillful piece of Or Nue - laying the lines in shapes like that! I think I'll start with nice, straight, couched lines of Jap. Did you have a teacher, or self-taught, or on-line?

Hello Penny,
Really great to have started! I hope we can have occasional get togethers as well.
