I took this photo in February...relieved to have finished these by the deadlines for submission to juried shows...and I am happy to say that all three were accepted...top left to the Ontario Juried Show in Kitchener, bottom left to the Canadian Juried show in Kamloops, BC...and then the one that pleases me the most...the one on the right...accepted today in Threadworks 2007 ..starting in May in the Wellington County Museum in Elora Ontario...then travelling to 15 other museums/galleries for the next 2 1/2 years, all over the province. I was refused in 2004 in the same show...it's a hard one to get into... so I am very pleased.
This one was done with four photos of fungi...transferred to fabric, then embroidered, quilted and beaded, and applied to a similarly fashioned background. I have posted individual pics of the 4 panels, if you are interested.

My necklace 'Marcia's Lace' recently appeared on the front cover of Australian Beading magazine. I designed and wrote the Masterclass Threadwork tutorial for the magazine.
"Three-dimensional thread embroidery similar to that adapted from the Byzantines by the vatican and the Russian Orthodox church for liturgical vestments. Here Gigli uses style of threadwork in a deep shawl collar on a garnet velvet evening coat."
In cleaning out my scrap files I came across these images of Romeo Gigli creations from the early 90's. I am still amazed by how elaborate and how stunning these garments are. Clearly Italian design, possible inspired by fashion favored by Russian nobility. I can find no reference to these images on the Internet, so I share them here. If you can shed some light on this collection please comment. Thank you.
