Aw! Thanks!
Excellent, thanks. Mine are larger!
Thanks, Louise. I would love to say "yes" but the brooches are not yet available for sale in the gallery, so have to report not. I didn't see the show, so have no idea what he was wearing. It wasn't really covered on the BBC website in that sort of detail.
Great to hear from you. I don't know anyone off the top of my head. Have you tried contacting the Embroidery Guild? I have a contact for the Guild in Victoria, she might know someone. What type of gold work are you interested in? Tanja Selles some great books that can guide you through the simpler processes. I will check with my contact, she may know someone on the West Coast, if not in Canada, maybe in the States.
Love to see you work.
Thank you, Louise, for the nice comment. We aim to please ;-) .
:)
Hi Louise,
I am so excited to have met you in Toronto.
Your work is fabulous!
Billie
Hello Louise,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through April 15, 2014.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect! If your images don't get posted they do not meet crafthaus quality standards. Please refer to the photo guidelines under the FAQ tab for questions.
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor at live dot com, I will do my best to be of help. I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin
