Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

Tracy Franklin Durham textile and embroidery courses.

Just incase any one is feeling lost after their course have just been sent latest info on City and Guild as well as Hampton Court Master Embroider Tacy's own workshops.  They look amazing and just wish we were taught techniques as well as process with the odd 'masterclass' thrown in .  I did want to attend a goldwork workshop there last year, for my FMP, but there were no dates available.  So, I went to a local, very good/experienced embroiders' for a workshop and supplies-Dinsdale Embroideries, they do internet sales- and had a go at a few different stitches.  It was interesting but in the end I used gold single thread and stitiches I knew that suited the designs (see Snetterton pine sprig/ snowflakes and lazy daisy posts)

So, if you fancy more textiles/embroidery the contact is Tracy Franklin Fowlers Yard Durham
