While Susan and I were discussing the Maggie Lane dragon design she's stitching, we got to talking about silk and metal embroidery and folks who teach Asian inspired designs. I thought you might like to revisit the websites of the stitching masters of these techniques. All three teach nationwide, so keep your eyes open in case one comes to a guild or seminar near you. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order with their website link. Explore and be amazed!
Margaret Kinsey teaches silk and metal embroidery and also Rozashi, which is a style of Japanese embroidery on a special fabric.

Judy Soulitis is a master of silk and metal embroidery but recently she has fallen under the spell of beads. Be sure you explore her website thoroughly.

Kay Stanis does silk and metal embroidery inspired by, but not limited to, Japanese design and Medieval illuminated books. Don't miss her Gallery.

UPDATE: Kay will do a class for ANG starting early next year. Clink on the links for more details about the costs and timing.

I love visiting these websites, studying their creations and hoping one day to be able to create masterpieces of my own.
