Hello!

I've become interested in danish medallions, and found a reference to an article in an old issue of Handwove. It's in the march/april 2004 issue and the article is called Beading with Danish Medallions (Christina Hammel). I wonder if anyone has this issue, and can tell me what the article is about? How long is it, is there a project etc?

I'm thinking about buying this issue, but with international shipping it's close to $20, and I'd like to know a bit more about the article first, is it worth it?

Thanks!

Tina/Manicgirl

You might be able to find it cheaper through Webs or another shop, ebay, or the WeavingSalesAds yahoogroup.  Contents of this issue are here:

Index says it is on pp 40-45.

The article is well-written and clear, with a project.  It's a slow and simple but effective way of adding beads easily into almost any piece.  If you have a book that shows you how to do Danish Medallion (I like Virginia West's Finishing Touches for the Handweaver) then it is not too difficult to see how to slip a bead onto the loop  before you pass the shuttle through.

Have fun!

Hi Tina,

I have the Design Collection no 18 from Handwoven, and in that there is a project called "Heirloom Towels in Linen and Huck Lace", and they have Danish Medallion in them. I wove them some years ago, and they came out really beautiful. They were rather time-consuming, but very satisfactory to do. I haven't got any digital photos of them for the moment.

Thought this might be another alternative for you. (The Collection is about towels.)

Thank you all!

Laurie - it sounds like it's an article worth pursuing. I'll se if I can find it cheaper somewhere, or else save up my money to buy the issue.

Michael - sorry, no fax, only e-mail. But thanks!!

Ellen - Thanks for the tip, I'll look it up! I've yet to try danish medallion, but I like the more and more the more I read about them and see them.

Thanks again for all your help!
