This weeks once upon a time is my Fine White work, this was worked during the final year of my apprenticeship. Fine White work is always worked on a 55 thread per inch linen and uses various White work techniques such as Pulled thread, Drawn thread work, counted stitches, eyelets, padded satin, trailing as well as creating layers with fabric attached behind and net darning worked with lace like designs. This white work is always mounted on a coloured fabric background in order to show off the various layers and usually worked during the summer months when day light is at its best (well as good as UK weather gets anyway!).

Once upon a time....
This once upon a time series of posts is all about having a look back and showing you the embroideries from my Apprenticeship at the Royal School of Needlework.

What a stunning a gorgeous piece. I love this technique and one day hope to learn it when I finally get there in the advanced Diploma!
