Meet Mr Rudolph- This kit introduces you to the art of Surface Stitch and Goldwork including Stem Stitch, fine Satin Stitch and gold essing. This kit is aimed at someone who has knowledge of embroidery but would like to improve their skills to get to the next level. This kit was inspired by a beautiful red deer than I saw in Scotland this summer. Detailed instructions can be found in each kit and will show you how to work through the design step by step. Also included are hints and tips for the technique. 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! Finished piece size is approximately 11.5cm (H) x 7cm (W) Goldwork is usually seen in the military and the ecclesiastical gown. The badges and banners are usually embroidered with intricate goldwork. I personally like to use it with other techniques or within a contemporary design. This piece contains fundamental surface stitch techniques, but with intricate gold essing to add depth. The red accent brings a festive touch to the design and contrast with the darker brown
