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.
Suitability - Intermediate
It is not necessary to have done stumpwork previously, but some stitching experience is required. You should already be familiar and confident with split back stitch and stem stitch. This project is not suitable for complete beginners.
