Ornamentations (noun): 2. That in which the process of ornamenting is embodied; the ornaments which adorn a thing collectively; ornament in general
Or, in music, the grace notes that embellish a melodic line.
The current running of the Elizabethan Valentine (shown in episode 30) is sold out but you can sign up to be notified of the next running of the Elizabethan Valentine here: katie-strachan.com/elizabethan-valentine
Santa Stops Here will be available as the Christmas in July flosstube kit, release date to be announced closer to the time.
Plum Street Samplers' Summer Hill, worked on Legacy Linen 38 count Irish Coffee with the following threads:
100/3: 152, 718
Gobelins: 544, 2541, F02, Creme
You could easily drop out Creme and replace it with F02 if you don't want to buy three off white silks, although it is very useful to have a full shading of neutrals in your stash.
It was embellished with 2mm Crystal Moonlight rounds, using my looped beaded edging, first pioneered by Joy of It's Finely Finished. My tutorial is here: youtube.com/watch?v=XrukzoD97KQ&t=199s
There are 17 new colors of Soie Surfine available from the Attic in Arizona. Soie Surfine is a subset of the 100/3 color family, as mentioned in this video - for a full discussion of the AVAS color families, numbering systems, and different thread lines, see the Specialty Thread Tutorial Part I: youtube.com/watch?v=F3QVmH2XgPQ&t=2593s
Mirror frames like the one seen here, which is the mirror with doors, are still available from Thistle Threads: thistle-threads.myshopify.com/products/17th-century-mirror-frames
And Cabinet of Curiosities Part II: Stumpwork, where I learned how to do all of this is running again and currently open for registration: thistle-threads.myshopify.com/products/stumpwork-part-ii-cabinet-of-curiosities
I can't recommend COC II: Stumpwork highly enough if you have any interest as it is far and away the most comprehensive study of stumpwork, particularly needlelace.
My mirror has 182 separately worked pieces that were then attached to the ground fabric, ranging from silk applique to beadwork to traditional needlelace in a variety of threads and stitches.
