Hi everyone,

Do you know where I might g…

- Hi Michiko,
No, I used #12 perle cotton since this was just a trial run. I've been thinking about twisting some of my silks from my Japanese Embroidery and using it to make one. I'll keep you posted. I really have to concentrate on finishing my Phase VIII so I'll be ready to start Phase IX in February. So much to do, so little time!

- I also have learned from books. Many designers learned from books alone and have become successful. But as for me, I prefer to have a master. I think because Totsuka has published books, this shows that she is not hiding the techniques. Which is a sign of a generous master. I think every author of the doityourself books are generous for sharing their techniques. As for me, now I am learning japanese and plan to visit japan next summer for the first time to take lessons. But who knows what will happen. maybe a Totsuka teacher will visit Germany. hehe

- They share the art of embroidery through exhibits and try to reach as many people as possible. The use of european themes and techniques in addition to japanese designs and techniques, is a style which I really like and want to follow. I want to develop my own style naturally, not force it now. AS I mature as an artist, I will develop my own style. A student will not become a master, if he has not mastered the skills necessary to become one. I have tried self-learning up to this point, and I have seen, that I am going nowhere. I can´t even invent my own technique, because I have not totlly mastered the basics. I think is is also possible, but would take a lot of time, and effort, because it will be trial and error. But if I take guidance from a master, I will improve faster and will have tremendous support.

- Thanks for the advice and the compliments. I still do not see myself as ready to create my own art although I have made some initial drawings that I would someday use for textile art.
I want to become a professional teacher one day, because I am inspired by my kind, humble and generous teachers in needlearts. I want to continue this legacy of passing on the skills to next generation of needleworks. I chose Totsuka shisyu institute because I like the system of teaching. It is not expensive, which is a sign of generosity and humility.

- Hello Michiko! I like to try different kinds of techniques. But I think I will ultimately master Totsuka shisyu. I like their concept of combining all techniques in a design, Asian, japanese or european. This is what I like to do. Japanese embroidery for example, although I will learn it next year, it is limited to their tradition.
I want to make more needleboxes I guess. I have many needles. haha. Is there a book dedicated on only making needleboxes and needlebooks? I will definitely buy one.

The photos of the fans are Midori's fans, I had them professionally taken for her... I am working on them and wanted to share them with everyone since they are so unique and beautiful. I am bringing Midori to the USA in Feb. 2011 to teach them, check out my web page for details

Jane said… - Oh poor Noah, I hope he gets well soon. I would recomend the book, it's produced by Kurenai-kai so is a good one to get if you can't get hold of the main textbook. I think it would be a good one to help you with your embroidery. It has some nice small projects in which you might like.
I think embroidering a kimono is a good idea, it's something I would love to do one day. Thank you for your offer of doing some shopping in Japan, I will have a think about it.
Jane
