Description
Make a brooch for yourself, or buy a kit to give as a unique gift. This metal thread brooch kit is a simple but beautiful design, which covers two basic techniques of metal thread work - couching using pearl purl and attaching 'chips'. It is an ideal starting point for launching an exciting journey into goldwork and all its many possibilities, as well as a talking point wherever you wear it. Available in a choice of ultrasuede colour (black, dark blue, cream, burgundy), as well as a choice of metal thread (gold, silver or copper). Please email me your choices. The beads will match the choice of metal thread. The finished embroidery is 7cm by 5cm. Suitable for all levels. All my kits are packaged using recyclable and/or biodegradable materials.
