Maria has taken her enthusiasm of embroidery and painting as a hobby a step further and has a blog of her work on the internet: She hasn't taken classes from me as she lives in Spain but she does use the free on-going critique that I offer with the purchase of my kits and I also give her advice on her own designs. It is a pleasure corresponding with Maria, Tanja |
"One day I saw the picture of a bird in the web, I do not well understood at the outset that this was an embroidery and when I realized, I looked the person who had made such a masterful work and she was Tanja Berlin. Then I started to seek through the web until I arrived to her website and from there is among my most visited sites, because I see beauty and I want to learn from her. Still I can not to write or to read in correct english, so, help to me with a translator for everything, but I understand very well the explanations and diagrams that have their kits because they are very clear and didactic. First, I read everything and translate, then with the original I start to work with them. For me this material is an invaluable treasure, because where I live I do not have access to such material or courses and much less so much quality. Also I think the sound advice, criticism and kindness during the development of embroidery to conclude without a time limit, is very important thing for me and something that will always appreciate. There are many kits of embroidery on the web and many sites that sell them, it is very difficult to find a site like the Berlin Embroidery, which offers exceptional quality in all aspects and developed by a real artist and teacher as Tanja. That's my opinion. Also each book of explanations of her kits for me, are other resources for others embroidery that I do and source of new ideas. I think I owe a lot to Tanja Berlin, is an honour for me to know her and I like as a student to remains step by step thing she does, because I am continually surprised with the art I see in his designs and his needle. Dear teacher, I am not tired to say thank you for guiding my hands and my inspiration"
