It's been a while. After getting married and submitting my phd thesis in the same month, I felt soo tired.. I took some time off and I'm slowly regaining my energy now. My thesis was accepted, so I don't have to worry about that anymore :-)
I found these treasures at the Apeldoorn Antiques Fair: silk from India and the most amazing gold thread from Singapore. It's a less than 0.5 mm thread, with metal wire wrapped around a cotton core. It's perfect for this type of embroidery.
