\nHand and Lock<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI love textile embellishments: embroidery, beading,
\nappliqu\u00e9.  I greatly admire those
\nsuperior crafts-persons who produce these exciting, artistic creations which
\nadd so much aesthetic value.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis year, 2017, marks the 250th<\/sup> anniversary of one
\nof the most prestigious embroidery firms, Hand and Lock of London.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTheir history tells of their initial services to the
\nmilitary for badges and embellishments for uniforms.  Today they offer their exquisite talents to the Royal House and
\nFamily, international fashion houses, designers of costume for theater and
\ntelevision.  You can read more of their
\nstory on their web page.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHand and Lock also offers educational opportunities, with
\ncourses and workshops in beading, goldwork and other embroideries, worldwide.  If you are in London you may visit the
\natelier and view archival pieces and embroidery samples.  They also have a large assortment of laces
\nand designs, appliqu\u00e9s, embroidery tools and kits available from their on-line
\nshop.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI would love some gold-work letters.  I can see my initials on an evening bag or
\nmade into a small broach.<\/div>\n
