Something to do if you're bored  

Posted by MeganH

I make extensive use of Google Image search.

If you've never used it to find "Elizabethan Embroidery" images you're in for some fun! And it's good to do when you feel like fuffing around on the computer, but not really do anything much.

I just thought of looking up "extant embroidery" - there was some good stuff there too.

"Historical Goldwork"

"Stumpwork

"Raised Work"

It's often a good idea to add "embroidery" into the search to narrow the results a bit.

- let your imagination run wild with keywords and see what you find!

Using Google successfully is an art in itself!

It's also worth pointing out that the more you use a search engine - thoughtfully - the better you will get at finding what you are
looking for.
