Profile Information

What aspect of textiles are you interested in?

I have always been interested in hand embroidery, crochet and tatting.

Where did you learn your textle skills?

I learnt a few techniques at a course conducted by the ANCHOR DESIGN STUDIO, India; the others I have picked up whatever has caught my fancy so far.

Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??

I would like to perfect my existing skills and pick up new techniques.

I saw your questions about Karahana on Susan's page. As I have recently stitched this design, I hope you don't mind if I jump in with some answers.

The main area of each petal is a pair of gold threads couched round and round using brick stitch.
The petal turnovers are box stitch - a single thread is couched to and fro over lines of padding, first couching between one pair of padding threads for several rows and then between the alternating pair for several rows.
Both the center of the flower and the trefoils (three-leafed clovers) are padded satin stitch. There are several layers of padded cotton underneath a final padding layer of silk under the gold satin stitch. Both are outlined with a pair of threads couched together.
The leaves are woven effect (one of my favourite techniques) and are also outlined with a pair of couched threads.

I hope this answers your questions. I have explained some of the techniques in more detail on my blog if you'd like to know more. All of the posts relating to Karahana can be found in this thread.

Thanks for your kind words about my Hardanger piece. The geometry soothes my mind. I like your crochet. I used to do a lot of it myself, and found it very therapeutic also. It is such a useful technique: decorative objects, clothing, household things.
