Exposição 2010 - Last images

...and this is the final contribution with photos from the 2010 exhibition.
In previous years, this group has delighted the crowds who visited the exhibition with fine craftsmenship, which will be presented in the next few instalments of this blog.

That's if for the 2010 exhibition.

Hearty congratulations to the team who made this exhibition possible in 2010 and lets look forward to the 2011 show. The ladies are already busy on the first works to be displayed next year, but it requires a lot of time, patience, dedication and know-how to prepare such a big display of beautiful pieces of work that any home will be proud to have.

Embroidery Exhibition 2010 (continued)

A few more photos from the Exhibition 2010.

Good inspiration to you all!

Table Decoration and framed works

Today we concentrate on the table decoration and framed specialities.

In the following picture, a mix between embroidered flowers and natural leaves, makes a perfect bouquet!

The miniatures shown below have nothing to embroidery, except their beauty. Made by a local artisan and using only materials exclusively picked up in the forests, they are made with great love and craftsmanship, typical of this area of the country. Individually made, they are perfect masterpieces to adorn corridors and offices.

Have fun!
