Description
Goldwork has been taken to the next level with this contemporary design. This Christmas decoration demonstrates how you can mix traditional techniques with contemporary embroidery to create a delightful piece which is varied in texture and colour. This design is created with gold and silver purls, pearl purl, embroidery thread and glass beads and sequins. The techniques of couching, chipping and loop stitch will be covered in the instructions to create this design. The leaves are stitched with embroidery thread to highlight the details. You will create the flower to define the centre with loop stitch in purls. Finally, you will highlight the design with seed beads and make the embroidery as a Christmas decoration. This kit is aimed at someone who has knowledge of embroidery, but would like to improve their skills to get to the next level. Detailed instructions can be found in each kit and will show you how to work through the design step by step. Videos of each step can also be provided on request. Also included are hints and tips for the technique, but we welcome your additional questions - please reach out via the 'message the tutor' button below. Finished piece size is approximately 11cm / 11.5cm (4.5 / 4.5in). The kit is presented in a special kit box with ribbon so is a great gift for someone special but also a treat to yourself! Can you also provide a username and password upon purchase, so I can set up an account for you to watch the videos? Thank you.
