Dragonflies by Twilight (Stumpwork)
The stumpwork dragonflies have been designed by Cathy using organza, pure silk & metallic threads with beads to decorate. The work is embroidered on pure silk dupion fabric. The wired wings are worked individually before being attached to create the finished embroidery. As an alternative to the workshop, a kit with online tutorial is available to purchase now - click here
