Still thinking vague thoughts about the metallic effects piece. I would like to tie in with my industrial theme and wondered about Tudor technology - some connection with printing presses maybe? I came across the expression 'steampunk' recently for the first time - it refers to the aesthetic of making modern technology look as if it comes from another era, eg a laptop with lots of brass and leather that could have been designed for a Victorian gentleman. One of those trends you have seen without realising it had a name. I think it came from fantasy novels in which technology appears before its time. When I did a search, the first article I found was a piece saying how 'over' and unfashionable it is now, but who cares - it may still work for me as a starting point.

Sounds very exciting - hope you enjoy it, I feel I am wading through treacle making paper! Paula
I was wondering what the mirror was for until the ( )! Being left handed makes these stitch bibles more complicated than they seem.

Congratulations on starting module 3.
Hi, :-)
If you cared to pop across to my blog, you'd see I'm doing a sampler of 16th and 17th C stitches.
I'd like to do knotted detached buttonhole, and up and down buttonhole, but only have Jane Zimmerman's Art of Elizabethan Embroidery single pictures as a guide.
I'm also left handed
Does Mary Thomas' book lay these stitches out any more step by step?
I'd really like to learn them, but my brain just melts looking at Zimmerman.
