I asked to Signe for pictures of her making Hardanger Embroidery.
Here is what she sent me: "I made a small model yesterday and took
photos during the process to illustrate it. I have used my hand
-dyed treads which make a nice contribution to the design, and
good contrast for the pictures. As you can see, one can design
almost anything, the pattern is based on squares."
Time consuming is one of the main point of hardanger embroidery
that I learned today. It demands a lot of time. It is a really precise
and delicate work. Signe doesn t have the time for it.
But she could act as a counsultant.

Signe Haugen.
Hardanger embroidery nowadays is mainly used for
the traditionnal costume. It seems like in Norway
everyone has its own traditionnal costume.
Hardanger embroidery
Signe Haugen.
Signe Haugen does many types of scandinavian needlework.
She started to work with textile at the age of 12 years old.
Ane pointed out that she learned hardanger embroidery
on her own. She would like to have some guidance
sometimes but it is really difficult to find.
Some old ladies keep their knowlede almost like a treasure.
The question of the heritage of this knowledge is interesting
to look at. I will interview Ane longer on saturday,
she has a very interesting point of view.
