Châtelaine's Dreams

This is the place where I want to share dreams and visions. As well for my love of needlework as for all things vintage and antique : fabrics, furniture, dresses, etc. etc. For photography and other visual arts. For music and cooking. For beauty in your lives.

Besides being designer for embroidery designs under the name of "CHÂTELAINE" and producing my own line of extravagant jewellery as the "GESCHMEIDE-MEISTERIN" (The Mistress of Jewellery), there
are so many things which are of interest for me, that I always wanted to have a place where to post bits and pictures to show and tell, and perhaps find like-minded "out there" to talk about our mutual passions for all things textile, antique, vintage and just beautiful....

I would like to hear from you, be it in email or as a comment !

ANNIVERSARY Design - 15 years of Châtelaine Online Class 95

Yes, it is true. I can hardly believe it myself - but in 2012 I am in business since 15 years. Designing, painting and creating my gardens and my dreams.

And every 5th year I celebrate my (still) being in business with something special - this year this is a new design for a limited SPECIAL PRICE - it is Online Class 95 - Sleeping Beauty's Castle.


It is a Mandala again, but picking up the age-old fariytale theme of the bewitched castle, where roses grow after the evil fairy's curse.
You see the castle getting hidden more and more by the growing rose bushes until on the left side they are all abloom, when the Price has entered the castle and kissed Sleeping Beauty awake again....
This old fairy tale was one of my most-loved stories in my childhood, I had picture books and later small records to listen to.
Later I watched a play in the theater at Christmas time - and so in my mind a certain "setting" was built which I now have freed and transformed into a picture of a fairy tale garden.
There are lots of special stitches to give texture, and some elements and threads will be kind of layered to create dimension.
And beads galore, as well as crystals. Golden braids. All things a true Princess would love as well ....
There will be a Tapestry-like center of cut bushes and a crystally pond... and delicate waterplays in the corner. And I assume that the one or other "small" will find it's way into this design during the time I "file" it to publication.... wait and see
