Hi Judy,
You could try "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.

Thanks for the comments on my biscornu. Just have viewed your photos and your work is LOVELY! Love your buttons and all the crazy quilting. Beautiful stitching.
Hi Judy that would be great .I will probably start mine now though as I have 6 weeks holiday from school and I want to cram in as much stitching as possible Love Lorna
Hi Judy Yes I am still up for an exchange but didn't quite get what you meant .............do you mean an exchange at the end of December ??(Christmas exchange )Lorna
I just took a peek at your lovely work and thought that it might be a lot of fun. I am wanting to learn more about Gold Work and this is the first time I have ever seen it listed.
Happy Stitching,
I am sorry, I misunderstood your question! :-) The envelopes can be made any size, with any fabric - I usually choose a simple cotton. The construction is a bit tricky, because the inside is lined. I'll try to write detailed explanations later (it's easier with graphics!) - I'll let you know when I am done!
Thank you for your nice comments and the friend request, Judy!
As for the envelopes I make, I am afraid I can't help you much with the design process - I simply get an image in my head, and I try to reproduce it as best as I can! To this day, the envelopes I sent by mail (without any envelope or protection - it's part of the mail art :-) all arrived at destination safely - most of them crossed the Atlantic ocean!
Hi Judy thanks fo your comments I love the faces of your dolls very peaceful ! and your little dragonflies are very sweet .If you'd like a one to one fabric postcard swap let me know
Lorna
OK, comment about my heart. I visit very often your blog. I like it. And also your embroidered crazy with butterfly in mother of pearl.
In my heart, I have sewn crocheted flower buttons (learnt in this Stitchin fingers..............It 's the magical exchange of the Net)
Thanks Judy for the comment about RR fabric book. I have learnt this with a very creative friend in USA: Lynn Dewart (you can visit her site and see her fabric books)With Lynn, I have made my first RR and it was very inspiring.
for your mail about Toile de Jouy, I shall answer later (I am not at home for links)
I appreciate your comments re my Mouse House, it was fun to create and the grandchildren love it and it is a joy to see them playing with it and making up little stories. Your Wilderness Birch Lake is a very interesting piece also Spring in Mitchigan-very nice. Happy stitching
