Martha's Rose is a 3" diameter ornament worked with Soie Paris. The instructions are downloadable as part of the mini-course offered through my teaching platform for $15. The course called "Martha Edlin - Her Life and Embroidery" has a video presentation on her biography based on my original research, a video on her embroideries, and this set of project instructions. An additional video on how to handle filament silks is included.
The mini-course can be watched as many times as you want for 31-days from date of purchase (Of course, extra time will be added for any technical snafus) and the instructions for the ornament are downloadable to keep. $5 of each course registration is a donation to the Textile Department at the V&A. The images are licensed for a specific number of spots.
This optional kit includes: Foxtail Millet 45ct Linen, needle, six colors of soie paris, a piece of pink silk for the backing, silk facette gimp and silk lacet for the ornament edging. The maker will have to provide matt board and batting for the finishing.
A note - my teaching platform and shop each have different user/passwords as they are hosted by different companies.
Once you order the course, I will follow up with an email with your user/password to the teaching site and instructions on how to access the course. NOTE: the email goes to the email you use for your Thistle Threads shopify account and is from the shopify system. Almost always I get the email sent to you within 8 hours and most likely within 1 hour. So please look at that email inbox (Spouse? Old yahoo email? Former employer email? Yes, most reasons you don't get the user/passwords are this. Email me the next day if you don't get it right away).
