Worked on silk dupion, this piece is an introduction to Goldwork, incorporating gold twist, Japanese gold and bright check, with complementary embroidery stitches in variegated silk thread. The embroidery itself measures c.15cm x 16cm at the widest points and may be worked on a 15" slate frame or an 8" embroidery hoop. The embroidery features a range of stitches including padded satin, feather stitch, fly stitch, woven wheels and stem stitch.
This project is not suitable for beginners and prior experience of embroidery is assumed. As a guide you should be able to work stem stitch, split back stitch, and feather stitch without instruction, with some experience and understanding of couching down threads. You do not need to have experience of Goldwork.
