AFAIK, they are quite different. Schwalm is a german embroidery, mixing counted thread fillings with outline stitches and ground net. Older pieces are more "full" of motifs, but quite similar to more recent works.

Beautiful! The shading is really well done! I love the interior of the flower!
I love the filling on the central part of the flower! This is really pretty!
A perfect piece of work. I love the way you have shaded the petals.
Gorgeous work !! Obviously you are a natural at this technique.

- Stefania, Your work is very nice, wonderful. Thank you to share. I read you searched a class about Japanese embroidery. I have not yet a website , I teach since 2007 in France I have now around twenty students who attend the classes of japanese embroidery . If I was helped to translate by a friend of mine who speaks italian very well (her husband is born in Italy) it will be perhaps possible to organize a class, here in Brittany where I live or in your town.
Why not ? Japanese embroidery is a large family all around the world as handicraft too; it's a universal language !
Four or five days are necessary for each level (or phase)
Best regards from Marie

Thanks for telling me how many threads you withdrew in that central petal. I was wondering but didn't want to ask. It produces such an interesting effect.

Carol-Anne said… - Hi Stefania
I came to look at more of the pictures in the gallery, your work is lovely. I noticed the discussion about Japanese embroidery. I hope that you find a way to attend a class. Judging from your work, it is a technique that your will love. I agree with Nance, it is one technique that is better learnt from a tutor that a book. If you are ever able to join us in Bournemouth you will be very welcome :)
You might like to join the Japanese Embroidery group here. It is not exclusively for those who do JE, any one interested in it is welcome and you may find some of the discussions interesting.

Jane said… - Hi Stefania,
just been posting a comment for Nancy and saw your comment about you having no teachers near you for Japanese embroidery. Have you thought of gathering some like minded people together and setting up your own class near you? There are a number of tutors in the UK and I'm sure one could be pursuaded to travel to you, you aren't that far away after all. Or of course you could also contact Mirelle and see if she would come to you.

Jenny said… - Hi Stefania,
Thanks for the comment on my piece. The original idea came from a "Rakam" magazine, but I adapted it for what I wanted. At the time I was just getting started on Reticella & was awed by the patters in this magazine. I only had a small piece of fabric & the design need to fit within it.

Nancy said… - Hi Stefania. It is indeed a small world. Erma is a member of my embroidery guild and has taught courses on Schwalm, Montmellick and other types of white work. I have known her since 1994. I do not know Fiore but am familiar with her store. I had sent Erma a link to your website and she realized that she knew you! Amazing! She spoke to our guild about her classes last year in Italy, how much she enjoyed the entire experience and how much she was looking forward to returning this year for more instruction. I have been stitching Japanese embroidery since 2000, slowly but surely working my way through all the phases. There are qualified teachers in France, Germany and UK. I am self taught in most of the embroidery I have done, but I have found that, for me, a teacher is needed for learning Japanese embroidery and lace making. Some information needs to be demonstrated--how tight to lace the silk fabric to the frame; the differences between soft and hard twist silk threads; laying flat silk properly and so on. I am mainly a "counted" embroidery person so I find stitching Japanese embroidery quite challenging.

Carolyne Foley said… - Hi Stefania,
I have been enjoying your gallery and an very jealous that you have taken classes with Antonietta. I have all her books and would love to take a class with her some day. I especially love your use of contrast thread in the Punto Antico. I learnt to do this when I was in my 20's and my company had sent me to Florence. (I used to be a fashion buyer for a Department store. I helped arranging a fashion promotion here in Australia and got friendly with one of the women who sewed for Emilio Pucci.)
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
