I miss the spectacular Australian fiber and textile artists we had in the 1990s. They were the world's best in wearable art, heirloom sewing, quilting and machine embroidery. They also published the finest in specialty fibercraft magazines and books. Sadly, all of that is long-gone. However, my fabulous Bernina 1030 with its huge accessory collection still looks and runs like new.
Very interesting process you've come up with. I like how clearly you describe it. I use leaves to print resist on silk, then dye over them. You could then cut them out and stitch a border. I noticed that like me, your video shows your work, with a narrative describing what people need to know.
Wow. Just when I needed to make free standing gum leaves, there was your brilliant tutorial. Thank you. I'll be slaving away over a hot sewing machine all weekend! Cheers, and thanks again,
Wow! That was fantastic. You always get everything right in your videos Deborah. Your pace is excellent, your diction clear, your subjects are interesting and the background music just right with choice and level. You always inspire me and you are always a pleasure to watch. I so look forward to getting each and every one of them. This one especially. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your generous comments, Bobbie - I really do appreciate them. Even more, I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial and I hope you have fun trying this out very soon! :)

Hi Shelagh - I'm so pleased that my videos are helping you. And yes, please do have a go at this - it's not difficult and the technique can be used for both simple and complex designs.
I wonder if you could add some beading and a bead dangle to to the bottom, a suitable finding to the top stem and make a focal for a necklace...very inspirational Deborah!
+Deborah Wirsu Textile Artist Hi Deborah!!! That was greek. I really love your methods and I am a big fan from Greece. You are awesome. With love, Zoe.
+Karytsa Ioanna Thank you so much! I tried translating from Greek on my computer (from looking at it, I thought that was the right language) but all the translator came up with was nonsense!! I really appreciate your comment - and I do really love getting comments in other languages - I a big fan of languages, but it helps if I know what it means!!
I'm using a water-soluble stabiliser, which comes in a few different types, some a little like soft paper or fabric, others like plastic. They dissolve in water after you've finished stitching.
Hi, I'm currently studying textiles at an AS Qualification in the uK and I've been looking at textiles artwork in Pinterest and I came across a technique where you essentially sandwich two pieces of organza together where you then place your item of choice in-between allowing the organza to trap the item
I hope that helps I'm not particular sure weather or not its the right technique or name for the process but I googled trapping and went on to images and I found it /: ( hope this helps thank you **)
Hi Holly....that's what I thought you meant, but wanted to be sure! Could you email me at deb@deborahwirsu.com (or via the contact page on my website www.deborahwirsu.com )and I'll give you some tips on this.....it may be a bit long to put in here!
Thank you - the back and front of these bookmarks look almost the same - the only variations that occur are due to variations in thread used in the top and bobbin on the machine.

Gracias es muy hermosa sus creaciones, yo quiero saber el nombre de la base con que elaboran los bordados y que con el agua desaparecen, gracias.
Hallo really lovely idea. I‘ ve a question. What is the name from the issue/ paper behind the organza? Thanks a lot for the inspiration! 🌺❤️🍀🌷petra

how do you do trapping with organza does anyone know a video link? or any techniques
Can you explain what you mean by 'trapping', please? thanks.
