With a speed that almost defied the eyes they knotted and cut in a single gesture and some of the silk carpets being made were of an unbelievable fineness - something like 1000 knots per sq cm.

My workshops were well appreciated and some lovely work was produced albeit some participants started the week feeling very apprehensive and 'out of their comfort zone'.  &lt;a href="http://www.lizembroidery.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These residential weeks really spoil us - housed, fed, entertained but of course everyone works amazingly hard - tutors, students, organisers and of course the great kitchen staff keeping us going from dawn til dusk.  Geelong Grammar School is a great venue, so luxurious, so spacious - so moneyed!&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Ocean Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I slept in 11 beds altogether from Melbourne to Geelong, Perth, Bunbury (2 h S of Perth), Adelaide, hostel in the Grampians, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Nabiac not counting a few hours in Hong Kong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Mon séjour en Australie c'est  très bien passé.  Les ateliers etaient bien appréciés et des belles broderies travaillées.  Quelques élèves se sentaient hors de leur zone de confort au début mais qui ont fait quand même des projets super.  J'ai beaucoup voyagé - Melbourne, Geelong, Perth, Bunbury, Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay. Ma seule visite organisée est 'The Great Ocean Road"&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Les plantes là bas sont époustouflante - luxuriantes, grandes malgré  qu'Australie est le plus sec de pays.  Mais bien sûr l'année de ma première visite en 2006 le pays souffre une secheresse depuis presque 5 ans et ça a été bien évident.  Depuis il avait beaucoup plu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-8758372885169550958?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/8758372885169550958/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/11/australia-2011.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/8758372885169550958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/8758372885169550958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/11/australia-2011.html' title='Australia 2011'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kLu7NTgeZRE/Ts68kJzyjlI/AAAAAAAAAgw/3RFVYXuSK9w/s72-c/paw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-1243639767686596708</id><published>2011-08-23T12:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-23T12:51:14.497-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Expo dans l'Aveyron</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sssbJxzMxNA/TlQBbu1SBXI/AAAAAAAAATs/XpcmCaqQgzI/s1600/P8191175.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sssbJxzMxNA/TlQBbu1SBXI/AAAAAAAAATs/XpcmCaqQgzI/s400/P8191175.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644137808941679986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;C'etait trés sympa l'expo dans ce petit village de Lacapelle.

Un grand merci à tous les deux.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;On a profité d' aller à Albi afin de regarder le cathédrale en brique, magnifique et l'intérieur avec toute la décoration sur les murs est une merveille&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Prochainement c'est les cours en Australie ..........surveyez cet espace!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very agreeable time in the Aveyron during my expo with Emoke et Nadine.  It's a lovely department all rolling hills and views.  Sold lots of stuff but no works.  We visited Albi to look at the brick cathedral a magnificent building.

Voilà notre maison de repos, trés paisable. ....et voilà nous en vacance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je viens de passer une semaine à Lacapelle Bleys où j'expose avec Emoke et où on a donné des cours.  On est resté chez Mijo &amp;amp; Alain, trés sympa - Mijo est l'organisatrice de l'expo et Alain est le Maire du village.  J'aime bien leur région dans l'Aveyron.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Hoorah! j'ai commencé aujourd'hui une nouvelle broderie basée sur des photos que j'ai prise hier dans un champs champêtre en face de chez nous.  Je sens que je n'ai pas travaillé pour moi pendant une longue période.  Mais comme j'ai toujours le planning à faire pour mon séjour en Australie on verra comment je peux continuer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haven't managed to write for a while.......had a great time in Italy, lovely place, good food, very nice people.  Boy it's a long way to drive though.&lt;br /&gt;I've just had a week in the Aveyron (towards SW France) exhibiting and teaching.  We were made very welcome staying with the organiser and her husband the very genial mayor of the village.&lt;br /&gt;I actually began some new work today based on a lovely wildflower field across the valley.  I don't seem to have had time (or inclination it has to be admitted) lately so it feels good.&lt;br /&gt;Planning for Australia goes on so that must take priority  but I have around 6 weeks to go so I should be alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-204442368295948517?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/204442368295948517/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/08/vacance-expo-oeuvre.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/204442368295948517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/204442368295948517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/08/vacance-expo-oeuvre.html' title='Vacance, expo, oeuvre'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1oPO5wWNIfM/TkBHCe8pLNI/AAAAAAAAATY/x0JuLgL9fug/s72-c/IMG_1335.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-9025330865707540520</id><published>2011-06-13T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T03:15:25.587-07:00</updated><title type='text'>mon site</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alors Peter vient de créer un nouveau site pour moi, plus ou moins les mêmes informations mais la mise en page et les couleurs sont changées.   Il y a quelques erreurs de la mise en page et il a passé plusieurs jours en essayant de les corriger et le travail a été trés frustrant.

Have a look - see above.  He's been going mad trying to correct all the faults coming from the system he's using so there are still some which won't budge but we hope it will soon be perfect!  Since we work with Mac we're not sure if Internet Explorer will open the site.  Maybe some kind person could report?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfibre exhibition ended on Saturday having had a good number of visitors.  Now I'm having a little rest before I start preparing for the next event in the Aveyron and then for my courses in Australia.

'Paysage en Normandie' a gagné le 3ème prix à Briançon et je suis contente de la revoir.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Après l'expo dans Le Luberon où j'ai beacoup vendu il me faut commander des nouvelles cartes postales et préparer des kits.  J'ai envie de commencer une nouvelle broderie mais tout d'abord il faut reconstituer le stock de base.  Je veux bien continuer le thème de paysages d'Ecosse commencé l'année dernière.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At last one of my works has been returned after travelling with France Patchwork for over a year.  So now I have one left 'out there' still travelling so goodness knows when I shall see it next.  And of course the one exhibited with the Pfaff competition was sold so that's gone.&lt;br /&gt;Now I must get down to replenishing the stocks after selling so well in the Luberon although I do want to start another Scottish landscape.  Time goes so fast and what with going to Italy soon and then my sister visiting from America, it'll be time for the Aveyron 3 week show and pretty soon after that I shall be leaving for Australia.  Not to mention all the usual house and garden work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-2702531209581376524?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/2702531209581376524/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/06/oeuvres-works.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/2702531209581376524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/2702531209581376524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2011/06/oeuvres-works.html' title='oeuvres / works'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Wzn2OAMG0o/TfPba-L6X1I/AAAAAAAAASo/Goi7fkVEbhc/s72-c/Untitled%2BImage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-9221174959461211194</id><published>2011-06-06T05:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T03:13:55.178-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Expo Luberon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9BUN0vtqk0/TezOl06yqQI/AAAAAAAAASQ/xF-BvbvrphE/s1600/mirabeau5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z9BUN0vtqk0/TezOl06yqQI/AAAAAAAAASQ/xF-BvbvrphE/s400/mirabeau5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615089984679880962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Grand succés pour moi, beaucoup d'interêt, beaucoup de ventes de kits, livres, cartes postales et même deux petit tableaux.

I have now quite a few teaching engagements in Australia for next Autumn (ours) if all goes well with inscriptions.  Geelong, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane and I'll be seeing family while I'm there.  Can't wait!&lt;br /&gt;I've also been invited to submit proposals for the EG Rocky Mountains for classes to be held in Sante Fe in Autumn 2012.  I would love to participate but obviously will have to be accepted first.&lt;br /&gt;There will be a big teaching day in Toulouse in March for the regional day of 'amitié' - friendship. I'm exhibiting at Quilt en Beaujolais mid April which is the first time for me and I hear good things about it, in the Luberon beginning of June which clashes with our group Enfibre's exhibition in Vedene near Avignon but I will put something in that.  August sees a 3 week exhibition and teaching in the Avyeron and pretty soon after that I leave for Australia.  Before I know where I am Christmas will be upon us again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Mes engagements pour 2011 commencent accumuler.  Pour l'Australie j'ai des classes en Geelong, Adelaide, Perth et Brisbane alors mon temps sera assez chargé et je veux aussi de visiter ma famille à Brisbane et au plus sud prét de Sydney.  Je suis invitée submir de idées pour des ateliers pour l'Embroiderers Guild Rocky Mountains en 2012.  Bien sûr je veux bien participer mais il faut être accepté d'abord.  Je vais participer a Quilt en Beaujolais mi-avril, dans le Luberon début juin et aussi  avec notre group Enfibre à Vedene prés d'Avignon, dans l'Ayveron en août et aprés ça je part pour l'australie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;J'espère que tout le monde a bien fêté leur Noël.

I'm about to start my third layout on yet a another background.  They're all 'vliesofixed' waiting to be placed.  I'm really pleased with the colours from the red fruit teabags mixed in with others donated over the last couple of years.  Once this one is done I want to make another tea tag work as I have been given masses and think quite a 'patchwork' can come out of them.&lt;br /&gt;It's been the weekend of the 'primeur' where all the domaines and caves open their doors for the tasting of the new very young wine.  It's really a marketing ploy to get you into to buy their 'proper' wines but it's usually good fun with lots of activities and exhibitions on offer.  Don't seem to see many gendarmes about on these weekends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je viens de commencer ma nouvelle oeuvre sur les sachets de thé.

Ils sont tous posés &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;sur le "vliesofix" et je suis en train d'essayer quelques compositions sur les fonds &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;différents. Pas de conclusion pour l'instant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ce week-end, c'était la fête du primeur mais avec le mauvais temps il n'y avait pas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;beaucoup de mouvement sur la route hier.

J'avais envie d'y aller depuis long temps et le site etait très impressionant, couleurs superbes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We visited the musée after and this is an example of the colours painted - it could be an abstract painting.                                  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Voilà un presque abstrait tableau &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;au musée &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;à montrer les pigments &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN63DsLxIjI/AAAAAAAAAPA/nXUrpamfMgI/s1600/IMG_1013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN63DsLxIjI/AAAAAAAAAPA/nXUrpamfMgI/s400/IMG_1013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539065865740296754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN62cOtSDuI/AAAAAAAAAO4/nd6SnirSiPo/s1600/IMG_1002.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN62cOtSDuI/AAAAAAAAAO4/nd6SnirSiPo/s400/IMG_1002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539065187812904674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;More ochre rock formations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN61f1XdCzI/AAAAAAAAAOw/ebwzmUat4HY/s1600/IMG_1019.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/TN61f1XdCzI/AAAAAAAAAOw/ebwzmUat4HY/s400/IMG_1019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539064150218312498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We then went on to Apt to the Fondation Blachère where we saw several textile artists from Africa exhibiting their fantastic work.  Here is an example of details from an enormous 'curtain' composed of squashed bottle tops and metal 'tags'  Difficult to see its real beauty here but it was gorgeous in its brilliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;  Après on est allée à la Fondation Blachère à Apt ou on vu une magnifiqu expo des artists textile Africain.  Ces details composées de couvercles métal de bouteille et de 'tags' métal.

It was so enormous and so hovered there  that it felt as though it was about to fall on our heads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alors sur notre route de retour ce ciel d'un tout beauté naturel (aprés la beauté de l'art) se manifesta devant nos yeux.

Saw quite a bit of the Jewish &amp;amp; war histories which I found deeply moving but also couldn't take too much more of it.  Visited museums, galleries and heard a concert - but not with the Berlin Philharmonic unfortunately. &lt;br /&gt;I had a good day with the Drome Journées d'Amitiés and everyone enjoyed the 3 h course.  But the technical side of trying to give a slide show using the computer remains, as it has each time, a nightmare.  Tried 4 computers and all morning (someone else not me) to get the thing compatible with the projecteur.  What is the answer?&lt;br /&gt;Am working on my entry for St Marie aux Mines competition so will show it when it's possible to do so.&lt;br /&gt;I have been invited to teach again in Australia next year so I'm very happy about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;L'image est un petit morceau basé sur un carré Afghan - l'évenement organisé par Pascale Goldenberg à l'aide des femmes Afghanistan il y a quelque temps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;On a passé un bon séjour à Berlin mais il faisait trés froid.  On a vu beacoup de choses sur la guerre et les Juifs, trés emouvant mais dur.  Visites aux musés et aux galleries et on a entendu un concert - pas le Berlin Philharmonic.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;J'ai passé une belle journée avec la Drome Journée de l'Amitiés et tout le monde a aimé bien le cours de 3h.  Beaucoup de problèmes techniques pour la conférence/projection d'images utilisant l'ordi + projecteur.  C'est toujours comme ça il me semble.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Mon oeuvre pour le concours SMAM avance et sera bientôt terminé.

I'm doing it with the idea of entering it for a competition which gives me a spur.  More and more I want to try embroidering work without framing and this one certainly won't be going under glass or in a frame.  But it's not always possible, so much depends on the size and whether a work would stand up to no framing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have another week's exhibition in November sharing space with a painter friend.  Will it be as successful as my Goudargues experience?  Horrible weather at the moment, dark and heavy rain.  It was summer until just 2 weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;J'ai commencé une nouvelle broderie hier basé sur le paysage en Normandie où j'y etais il y a 3 ans.  En principe elle est pour un concours mais on verra.  Plus en plus je veux éviter l'encadrement de mes oeuvres mais c'est pas toujours possible car beaucoup dépend du taille et le sujet.  Le temps fait horrible à ce moment.

Beaucoup de visiteurs et les ventes se terminent à 9 tableaux plus bien sûr ventes de mon livre, kits et cartes postales.  L'expo s'est passée beaucoup mieux que j'attendai quand on sais qu'il est hors saison dans la région et le lieu est dans un petit village.  Un grand remercie à tous et à toutes qui m'a montré une telle enthusiasme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alors pas un moment de repos car il faut préparer pour mes journées de l'amitiès. En plus je vien de recevoir une invitation à Londres pour le vernissage de Pfaff où si vous rappelez j'ai un morceau  sélectioné.  Alors je vai directe à Londres après les journées.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my exhibition finished this evening and I'm very happy with the the way it has been received here considering it is out of season and it is only a small village.  There have been lots of visitors - a lot through people telling their friends they had to come to see it! - and I ended up with nine sales plus of course sales of my book, kits and postcards. &lt;br /&gt;So, now I have no time to relax but must prepare for my time in the Basque region and then I'm off directly to London for the opening of the Pfaff exhibition at Ally Pally with the Knitting &amp;amp; Stitching show.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-7632843970234995047?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/7632843970234995047/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/09/fin-de-lexpo.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/7632843970234995047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/7632843970234995047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/09/fin-de-lexpo.html' title='Fin de l&apos;expo'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-3549497085036171506</id><published>2009-09-24T04:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-24T04:43:34.554-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Exposition personnelle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/SrtaUhvW9CI/AAAAAAAAALQ/zXrdmqGod2I/s1600-h/IMG_0292.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/SrtaUhvW9CI/AAAAAAAAALQ/zXrdmqGod2I/s400/IMG_0292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384997088152450082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alors tout va bien et jusqu'aujourd'hui 8 tableaux sont vendus.

I'm happy to say that my piece was accepted for the Pfaff Art Embroidery Challenge so I shan't be seeing it again for at least a year.&lt;br /&gt;As usual my courses here have been much appreciated from the point of view of Peter's cooking!  He really pulled the stops out this last week - they wanted to pack him up and take him home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quilt en Sud exhibition has so far yielded two good dates for the Autumn both regional meetings of combined patchwork clubs in the Landes &amp;amp; the Pyrenées so I'll be talking and teaching to over 100 people for each day!  Quite a lot of preparation for that between now and the end of September.&lt;br /&gt;We're away for a month in the summer and then Sep starts up again in earnest.  As well as a course here I'll be going to Switzerland with our choir for a weekend concert and I have organised a week's exhibition of my work locally which I'm looking forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Aucun temps d'écrire mon blog jusqu'a maintenant - trop de travail.

I had a beautiful exhibition space all to myself and was able to show off my work to good advantage.  It was a very successful show for me where I sold many books, kits and cards and for good measure QES bought a piece of work for their new collection.  I was pretty overwhelmed by the public response and have made many contacts for the future.  QES also looked after their artists royally and I have nothing but praise for their warm and generous welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't able to explore the region much (although Peter had a great time) as I had so many people interested in my work that I didn't feel able to leave my exhibition to itself.  Ah well perhaps we'll go back just to enjoy the Basque country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Quilt en Sud à St Jean de Luz été un grand succès pour moi où j'ai beaucoup vendu aussi bien que d'avoir fait des importants contacts pour l'avenir.  QES avait la gentillesse de m'en acheter un broderie pour leur nouvelle collection.  On etait très bien prix en charge par QES et leur acceuil etait formidable.  J'espère bien de refaire cette manifestation dans l'avenir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je ne pouvais pas explorer la région malheureusement car l'interêt sur mon expo a été tel que j'etait obligée de rester sur place.

The whole of the top area was machined freely in straight stitch using green overlayed with yellow incorporating the buttercups which had the effect of changing their look .  I then used the zigzag freely to create all the golden buttercups on top of this machining spacing them out more as I went down the field.&lt;br /&gt;I hand embroidered the stems and added some lovely gold thread here and there which I'm afraid simply doesn't show here.  I'm quite pleased with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you all had a good Easter - see you soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Voilà la broderie pour le Pfaff challenge.

I don't know how anyone can embroider only with the machine.  I have to leave it after about half an hour of work with aching shoulders, a crick in my neck and somewhat boss-eyed from the long concentration.  Hand embroidery is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;so &lt;/span&gt;calm!  But I think the end result will be worth it - well I hope so as I ain't doing another!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway here are a couple of pics of it before machining began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gorgeous weather at the moment.  We have redstarts building nests all over the place - one right outside the kitchen door so I hope Bello our cat doesn't get them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je fait le progres de ma broderie pour le pfaff challenge - mais le piqué libre me beaucoup fatigue!

I'll do some try -outs first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just had my son &amp;amp; partner  with new daughter Eva (remember my post re her birth)? to stay for a few days so here she is again.

Apart from talking about and showing textile work we always get around to talking about food.  This is inevitable as we all bring a dish for a lunchtime meal and variuos recipes are discussed.  The French no matter what group of people male or female love to talk about food and they know a lot about putting flavours together.  I love all this but sometimes find their ideas a little inflexible usually based on matters of good digestion.  Anyway here we are at lunch yesterday, beautifully sunny as you can see - courgette vélouté, leek and jambon cru salad, goat's cheese tart, mixed veg salad ....you get the picture. (oh and wine of course)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Hier c'etait une journée avec notre group Enfibre chez moi.  On a discuté et montré nos travail aussi bien que la conversation sur des expositions, échange de revues etc.  Eh bien sûr comme d'habitude à midi on a bouffé les plats cuits par nos soins - délicieux, velouté de courgettes, salade au poireau et jambon cru, tarte au fromage chevre, salade de légumes ....plus vin bien sûr&lt;/span&gt; plus les desserts - mousse aux citrons, charlotte de pommes et une dessert de Pascale fait avec agar (gélé d'algue si j'ai bien compris (je me trompe il n'etait pas une dessert mais je peux pas vous dit les ingrédients&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-3301112366496224796?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/3301112366496224796/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/03/journee-avec-enfibre.html#comment-form' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/3301112366496224796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/3301112366496224796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/03/journee-avec-enfibre.html' title='Journée avec Enfibre'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/ScPGh8l83sI/AAAAAAAAAHc/-SmcVCcLGAY/s72-c/P3191226.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-8883188979847965816</id><published>2009-03-16T10:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T10:52:39.344-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='work and Spring'/><title type='text'>New work started</title><content type='html'>Had an enjoyable time in Roanne taking a day course on Saturday.  People seem to like working my little landscapes and I always enjoy meeting new people.&lt;br /&gt;Started a new piece of work today for 'Art of the Stitch' organised by Pfaff.  The subject is landscape so it suits me very well but I'll have to do quite a bit of free machining on it as that is what the competition is all about.&lt;br /&gt;Weather gorgeous again so long to be in the garden but at least can work with the studio door open which is lovely.  Lots of birds courting so lots of birdsong.

I've fed and mulched one of the flower beds - full of violets (white and violet) and some daffs and fed and mulched my roses with garden compost.  Also had some very satisfying bonnies as well as stacking up leaves for future compost.  Love jobs like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to neglect work though and have finished the tea label piece.  I think it's ok but would like to try another one day.  Better start collecting then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to my weekly aquagym this morning and am feeling a bit pooped but must get some kits together for a course at the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;J'ai passé 2 jours dans le jardin car le temps fait trop beau de rester à la maison.  J'ai nourri quelques endroits (plein de violets et de narcisses) aussi bien que mes rosiers.  J'ai brulé de feuilles et poser les restes de faire le compost pour l'avenir.  Un travail bien satisfaisant.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;J'ai fini le morceau d'étiquettes de sachets de thé et je crois que ça passe.

The trouble is trying to keep it all under control as I've got so much info to choose from.  No sooner have I chosen certain photos of my work than I think oh that looks very typical of the landscape and with back up work photos to go with it I change again.  I need a book not a magazine!  I'll keep you posted for publication date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting to get reservations for &lt;a href="http://www.lizembroidery.com"&gt;courses&lt;/a&gt; here but since we are limited to accommodating only 4 at a time I am not over-run.  3 or 4 is a perfect number and the 5 days are very agreeable for everyone, plenty of attention from me and small enough for everyone to get to know each other well if they have all come individually.  Quite often though it's 2 or 3 friends who come together and the week can be a hoot.&lt;br /&gt;Quite a number keep in touch and we've stayed with some of them when I have something on in the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je commence avoir des réservations pour mes ateliers ici mais comme on prend un maximum de 4 je suis pas 'surchargé'.

I have taught both week long workshops at various Forums and 2 day workshops for ATASDA, Guild and private groups.  They're a very positive bunch of individuals the Australians and here are a few examples of their work.  These are from my last forum 2008 in Geelong.&lt;br /&gt;I also had fun of course visiting the South coast - beautiful turqoise sea - Brisbane which I liked very much, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra.  I stayed with friends and family everywhere which was great so didn't feel at all like a tourist which I wasn't I suppose anyway.&lt;br /&gt;I went on a 2 day cattle drove with my niece who breeds and trains stock horses.  About 300 cattle had to be taken to Nabiac (about 3 hours N of Sydney)for a sort of rodeo (camp draft).  That was a fabulous experience and I didn't feel at all (well not much) stiff in the joints.&lt;br /&gt;I also went on a whale watch off the Gold Coast and although I had seen a humpback leaping for about 10 minutes from the shore about a kilometre out the day before I didn't see anything like that from the boat but saw lots of whales coasting about.  Lovely creatures.&lt;br /&gt;What lovely memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Voilà quelques images des élèves en Australie.  Elles etaient formidables, très positives dans leur travail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Bien évidement je m'amusais bien en visite à la mer - très turquoise - Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney.  Je restais chez des amis et chez ma famille partout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Avec ma niéce on a participer à un 'cattle drove' c'est dire on a guidé avec une douzaine d'autres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; persons 300 vaches pendant 2 jours afin d'arriver à Nabiac (petite ville sur le littoral est) pour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;un sort de rodeo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je suis allée en bateau chercher des baleines - humpback - qu'on a vu.

I've put them all on double sided tape and am in the process of attaching them to vliesofix.  I think that's going to be the best way of getting them onto the background and I can decide once they're all secure on the vlieso how to position them.  Not decided yet whether to work in blocks or chop them all up again and arrange individually.  The thing is to get them into a state where I can place them to a background and fix in their definitive position without having to disturb the arrangement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je suis en train d'assembler mes etiquettes de sachets du thé.

When it's all up on walls (or not) everywhere in the house you don't realise just how much you've done over the years and of course during that time there  have been sales so there has been even more than the present!  I was very pleased seeing it all together and although the vernissage was fairly small I had lots of compliments.  The French are not used to seeing this kind of art although my name is not unknown now here.  Well it's up for 3 months, which is a long time out of circulation and I had to turn down some other opportunities which cropped up.  I'm happy with it but not optimistic for sales - bad time of year and a quiet town.&lt;br /&gt;So I'm now back home and have started trying to do something with all the teabag labels I've been collecting over the months.  I belong to a group called 'Enfibre' and we have a theme to work to about recycling so  mine is going to be from these labels.  Hmm......we'll see how far I get, will keep you posted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Alors mon expo est en place et j'était étonné de voir un tel nombres d'oeuvres tout ensemble.  Normalement ils sont dispersés sur les murs ici et la a la maison et je les voie pas comme ça.  Beaucoup de compliments mais j'attends pas les grands ventes, trop calme la ville et pas vraiment un bon temps de l'année.  Eh bien j'ai dû refuser deux occasions d'exposer ailleurs pendant les 3 mois de mon expo mais ca c'est la vie n'est-ce pas?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Je suis rentrée chez moi et je commence un nouvel oeuvre basé sur les étiquettes de sachets de thé.  Avec le groupe 'Enfibre' on espère d'avoir un expo avec théme de 'recyclage' cet été.  Je vous tiendra au courant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-1133480856693624243?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/1133480856693624243/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/02/liz-at-musee-municipal-bourbonne-les.html#comment-form' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/1133480856693624243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/1133480856693624243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/02/liz-at-musee-municipal-bourbonne-les.html' title='Liz at Musée Municipal Bourbonne les Bains'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/SZlQ_NZ-T5I/AAAAAAAAAEg/23keiT4j9f0/s72-c/IMG_5946.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-2455257471099800058</id><published>2009-02-11T08:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T06:40:43.111-07:00</updated><title type='text'>nouvelles d'Australie</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Depuis hier j'ai eu de contacte avec mes amis en Australie.

It's all hand embroidered on a very fine open weave silk which I bought in Australia when I was teaching at the Geelong Forum.  I invariably have great problems deciding how to frame - or not - once a work is finished but this one 'The burnt tree' &lt;/a&gt;I worked directly onto the length of silk and am leaving it as a hanging.  No decisions there then!&lt;br /&gt;As usual it's  mainly in straight stitch with the tree itself cut out of lutradur and the background trees torn, spray painted vliesofix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been cleaning and remounting works for the exhibition and getting rid of card mounts to leave the embroideries mounted alone onto thick watercolour paper.  But I've kept the glass on some of them and some not, it all depends how they look 'naked'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Voilà une nouvelle paysage Australien.  Elle est travaillée sur une soie très fine et tissage 'ouverte'.  D'habitude je trouve l'encadrement la plus difficile aspect de mon travail mais cette fois-ci je travaillais directe sur la soie et la laissée libre sans cadre.  J'utilisé le point droit, point de noeud, l'arbre est coupé de lutradur et les arbres au fond de vliesofix peint et déchiré.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Pour mon expo à Bourbonne je suis en train de nettoyer et recadre quelques unes sans leurs passe-partouts que j'aime de moins en moins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-1296606019653640695?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/1296606019653640695/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-embroidery.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/1296606019653640695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/1296606019653640695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-embroidery.html' title='New embroidery'/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1dQZ1nkI74g/SYrEpipx39I/AAAAAAAAAD4/fd70fqxOJF8/s72-c/Arbre+brul%C3%A9.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-4169988169399088594</id><published>2009-01-28T02:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T02:58:49.278-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;la couleur choisie pour la partie en français n'est pas assez claire alors j'essaie en rouge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/782289657893532973-4169988169399088594?l=lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/feeds/4169988169399088594/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/01/la-couleur-choisie-pour-la-partie-en.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/4169988169399088594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/782289657893532973/posts/default/4169988169399088594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lizzie-artembroidery.blogspot.com/2009/01/la-couleur-choisie-pour-la-partie-en.html' title=''/><author><name>lizzie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10919941957566859425</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed5gVxBNkDc/TkBCPMjqljI/AAAAAAAAASw/EJfMUMpI2bg/s220/portrait3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782289657893532973.post-5938783213075415706</id><published>2009-01-28T02:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T02:55:07.604-08:00</updated><title type='text'>languages</title><content type='html'>I have decided to try &amp;amp; write my blog in French as well as English.
