- Hi Vincent. I will be visiting Paris for 1 week in June, 2010. If you have any suggestions of textile museums to visit or embroidery/fabric shops to browse, I would appreciate learning about them. Thank you for your assistance.

Jane said… - Hi Vincent, thanks for the comment on the arrowroot picture. I am very lucky to have this piece and it is quite quite beautiful. I often study it and wonder if I'll ever get to be half that good.
It is a wonderful source of inspiration.

John O'Leary said… - Hi Vincent,
Your work is brilliant. I hope you have many happy years working on Japanese embroidery. I also have to travel a long way for classes. I started in New Zealand, and these days I have to travel from Brisbane to Adelaide. But it's worth it!
Best wishes,
John

Michiko kamoshida said… - Hi worksofthands,
I guess your embroidery journey will go on forever! One day, after mastering all embroidery skills, you will be able to create your own art embroidery that no one has ever seen before.
I do not know of any books that have got only needle boxes, but I have a Japanese book of box making. You already know of Totsuka shishu,using different styles of stitch techniques to make something useful, including sashiko,kogin sashi ,European stitches too. Why are you interested in Tosuka shishu so much? You already have got skills. Is your journey to find your own style?
I have not gone very far yet. Michiko

Thank ou for you kind comments about my bugs. Yes, I designed all the insects in the piece. I looked at real bug in the Google image tab. It was fun, just a sort of sampler or study to see what would happen.
