Look what I found!

I want to make one of these: It's a drawstring bag, embroidered in tentstitch on linen using silk and metal thread. about 13 x 14 cm in size and has three tassels. The embroidery is pretty, and it's counted. Hurrah. If the link doesn't work, do a search for 'drawstring bag'and it'll be one of the top five results, Accession number 38.1344

I can see the bag (pretty!) but I can't get it to zoom. :-(

Ack! The zoom feature shows loads of detail in the stitching etc.

You have latest version of Flash?

I *thought* that i did! I can usually see most everything on this laptop, but it's sure not showing that. I even tried it in IE (which usually shows everything), but not this.

Maybe it's the pop-up. The zoom feature comes as a pop-up window. If you've got that blocked might explain the mystery...

[florentinescot.livejournal.com]

The window pops up -- right now (I tried it again), it's just sitting there saying "waiting for zoom.mfa.org"

*sigh*

The link works, but I can't see the picture at all.

Anyhow... have you seen the V&A embroidery from their collection book? That has - iirc - four embroidered pouches, each with a different sort of flower. Would you like me to scan the picture and email it to you?

I've just realised I don't have your email!

Drop me a line at peronel at btinternet dot com and I'll bounce those to you at some point on the weekend.
