Topsell, finished | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/topsellfinished
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. As you can see, I’ve finished Topsell as a slip (on padded card), attached the slip to a green background, added some long stitches under his feet as in the original etching and then attached that to a green/gold background. I’ve just finished stitching calico to the back of the green/gold background to hide the lacing. Finished! I’ll do a post about lacing Topsell onto card separately.

Mr Fishie Finished | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/mr-fishie-finished
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. Here is Mr Fishie, finished! I added the zig zag plate – this is an unusual plate available from the Thistle Thread website. It’s much finer than the ‘usual’ flat plate. I don’t have any flat plate in my stash at the moment, or I’d do a comparison photo for you. The total zig-zag width is a bit narrower than flat plate from memory. http:/ www.thistle-threads.com/shop/sundries/metaltrims.html. Tho it’s sold out at the moment. Two sides of the box down, three to go! And n...

Butterfly | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/butterfly
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. My work order for the trinket box side is. The butterfly (silk thread). The flower stem (silver passing). Outlining the motif (gold twist). Silk thread always goes down before the metal thread because otherwise it can catch on the metal thread stitched onto the ground and be damaged. The s-w purl goes down last, using the same principle, and also because it can be accidentally crushed. I’ve done the butterfly…. Long and short stitching. Outlining and an eye. You can fol...

Silk Wrapped Purl Motif for Trinket Box Side | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/silk-wrapped-purl-motif-for-trinket-box-side
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. Silk Wrapped Purl Motif for Trinket Box Side. For my next Trinket Box panel, I’m doing a motif based on. Even tho I saved down the image from the Met Museum, I think that the photo above is about as clear as mud. You can see it much better if you go to the original, if you care to, and check it out here : http:/ www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/229027?

Topsell | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/topsell
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. An image I’ve been familiar with and wanting to do for awhile (given my adoration of cats) is from Edward Topsell’s “History of Four Legged Beasts and Serpents and Insects” (1657). Multiple eyebrows, giant weird thing above his nose and all, it’s a very distinctive sort of cat. I’ve found a German wood print (? I think) of this image. ( http:/ fineartamerica.com/featured/cat-granger.html. I particularly how his legs have turned out. FeedYou can leave a response. YouR...

Silvering the Stem | Elmsley Rose
http://www.elmsleyrose.com/embroidery/silvering-the-stem
Aka Megan H, Melbourne, Australia. After doing the butterfly, doing the stem in silver metal thread was next. First, the padding. Partially done. I started in the middle to help get the angle of the thread correct. I finally realised why one would want a mellor. I spent a lot of time pushing the threads together with my fingernail and you’re not supposed to touch the stuff anymore than necessary or it’ll tarnish. Tweezers bruised the thread, exposing the cotton core. Next, gold twist! From your own site.
