Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that a new Yahoo group for Traditional Japanese Embroidery has been formed. I understand that the moderator for the previous group let it slide for whatever reason and that there was very little activity recently. The new group has four moderators so if one is not available the others should be able to keep things going. Files and photos from the previous group have been moved across. The new group is not sponsored by the Japanese Embroidery Center, we they the JEC in Atlanta and Kurenai Kai in Japan.

I was at the opening having already had a good look around that afternoon. The next day I went back again. It was a thrill to see all the beautiful embroideries, they certainly sparked some ideas. I will be going back again before the exhibition finally closes. If I didn't live so far away i would probably be haunting the place.

Hi everyone. The World Exhibition of Japanese Embroidery is now in Adelaide Australia. Have any of the Australian members gone to see the exhibit? How did you enjoy it?

Sounds like a good plan to me Nancy. Have fun with your experiments. Would you post a picture of two of the results on the group, I'm sure people would be interested in seeing how it turns out.

Thanks for the suggestions Jane. I think I want a more subtle effect with a silk close in color to the K646. I have looked at my silk thread samples and thought 704 or 705 might be suitable. I think what I might end up doing is making up some 1-into-2 threads, couch a bit and see what I prefer. I want the K646 to be predominant, not the couching silk.
