  Saturday, April 6th, 2019     Annual Meeting
            “Little Japanese Girl”

This lovely Little Japanese Girl worked in Rozashi is a traditional oriental motif often used to fete the occasion Girls’ Doll Festival Day which is celebrated on March 3rd.  On this day at home, dolls are displayed on shelves and girls are dressed in their finest clothes, and often taken to nearby shrines to thank guardian deities for their healthy growth and good health.  This custom is also observed to help teach young girls femininity.  This ancient Japanese technique employs silk and metallic threads on a specially woven silk canvas-like fabric called Ro.  The thread used is a twisted silk thread and a metallic laquered thread with a silk core.  Four basic Rozashi stitches will be taught with some variations.  Finishing techniques will be explored.
