Are guinea fowl Christmassy?
Absolutely not! I love your idea. The problem with commercialized Christmas is that it becomes regimented, as if every holiday celebration has to be a certain color or a certain theme. While I will...

I truely wish that I had the patience to do that kind of work. It is absolutely amazing.
I have never learnt how to make lace so I don't know anything about it but this looks very compilicated and intricate to me. I think it is lovely.

- Thanks Patty!!!
I wish they photographed better. I have tried several times but the camera just cannot capture the vibrant color and magic of the metallic threads.
WOW a software engineer, I'm impressed!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had been born with computer genes or at least... had a 12 year old around to help me with this thing. LOL

- Patty, I so agree about wishing there were fun words on the selvages. I've never been fond of promoting advertising on clothing; for example, a sweatshirt with the brand name in big letters! Nevertheless, I've found myself making little things with selvages, maybe because it is requires no decisions about color, etc.
Your lace and other thread work is amazing to view; I've let the slide show of photos stream past me twice already. Who would not be drawn to the iris you created? Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Thankyou for your comments on my goldwork photos.
The Or Nue is worked by laying the gold thread on the surface of the fabric and using coloured threads to couch (overcast stitch) gold in place. By varing how close the coloured stitches are placed, it creates areas of very dense colour (in the case of the pink petals or more open areas such as the leaves. In the areas that are not coloured I have used a fine gold thread thread to hold the heavier gold thead in place.

Thank you for your comments.
Yubinuki (thimble) makig s popular in Japan now and it is possible to get instructions and book ,but they are in Japanese!.As you already know temari making,it is similar things.
You could try web site,www.temarikai.com;look for "thingsjapanese" on the top tool bar;then choose "yubinuki"where they are simple instructions in English.
Hope that helps;if not get back to me. Michko
