Not listed in order of importance ;-)
98% of Ribbon and Stumpwork panel is finished!!!!!!!!!! Other 2% is
deciding what kind of border, if any, to put around edges and type of
finishing (framed (myself or by a pro) or as a 'quilt' wall hanging.
Discovering that ribbon work isn't all that difficult, especially if one
follows instructions 'not to worry about laying everything straight'
The regional stitching seminar was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Lynn Payette is
my kind of teacher -- she talks about a technique and then slowly
demonstrates it with students gathered around her. She also uses glue or
fusible webbing to attach pieces to the ground or to each other.
After almost a month of worry that it might have lost, the envelope
containing another Di Van Niekerk book and several preprinted designs
finally arrived from South Africa.
A friend introduced us and I fell in love -- with Soft Dolls and Animals

magazine <g> I've borrowed an issue and am currently 'perfecting' my
beaded embellishment techniques as I make my own goddess dolls out of
scraps of materials and cheap stuff that have languished in containers
for awhile.
Speaking of beaded embellising, is anyone familiar with Embeadery by
Margaret Ball? It looks like it has step by step instructions.

Embeadery ? lol nice term. Glad you are finished, I like ribbon
embroidery for things like cards, quickly done and very effective.
I did a ribbon embroidery piece with teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl
and made a tray out of it for my younger daughter. Stretched the
piece on a very light piece of veneer, well sheltered with cotton,
then laid that in the bottom of a boughten tray. Some rarebeting then
a sheet of glass to keep it safe. It came out quite well, she liked
it and uses it a lot.

Bingo! We may have a winner ;-) Putting the piece on a tray sounds good.
What is rarebeting? Is it a technique to add space between the piece and
the glass? The only references I found talked about welsh rarebit and I
don't want cheese on the piece ;-)

I think she meant "rabbeting" which is a way to make a joint, but I like
your cheese explanation much better. lol

I think the word you want is "rabbet," which is
basically a groove cut into the wood to hold the glass in
place.
Best wishes,
