back to Vienna from a really exhausting week living in an expensive castle with the worst food and racist old ladies. At least I learned so much from the class that I'm thinking of not returning as I'm already happy with the basics. 🙈

Ok, so I've added the ribbon border. It will now need some jiggling to ease it into place before I attach it to the velvet stele.
But, progress!

Trying to wrangle the "padding" thread, the working thread, the ribbons and the goldwork is quite a challenge!

I was reminded of this piece by a post from The Egypt Exploration Society: here's my embroidered version of The Crock Of Gold Hoard to wish you a Happy St Patrick's Day!

Second practice panel. This is Smooth Passing No4, rather finer than the Jap in the first panel. It behaves better, but the fact that it's so fine is making me nervous about coverage.
Still, practice and all that. If I practise with something difficult, and use something easier, that will make everything go with a swing!
I'm also trialling working vertically, rather than across the body, and I'm preferring that, too.

Completed first panel of practice for the underside couching.
I'm going to try again, with a different type of silver thread, to see whether it is easier or harder or produces a better result.

I'm not sure whether this is improving yet or not!
However, if I continue to sit here for another hour, my back and fingers will suffer. A change of activity is indicated!

So, an hour's work on this small bit of seems to be about five rows.

It's too early to say that I am getting better at it, but I am going to stick with it to finish this small panel, and to have a go at one of the basketweave panels, before I tackle the real thing.

Framed my avis aurea. It is now proudly adorning my bookshelves. The original 11th-century embroidery has a whopping 40 goldthreads per centimetre! I came to about 28/32. Not bad at all. To reach a higher number per cm, one needs to split the silken thread further. I was pretty sure my prospective students would not like that very much 😇

Finished! My avis aurea is done. I love how the green and the gold interact with each other. I'll teach this design in August in a Museum near Munich, Germany. If interested, please message me for further details or look at my website.

completed on avis aurea 💪 It is amazing how different the shade of gold looks depending on the direction of the threads!

I'm still trying to work out how to present the successfully. My first idea didn't quite work, so I'm trying a new way to help the settle into the mount. Three satin ribbons held together down one edge - so I have to sew them together first.
I hope this works!
