Goldwork progress
Day 2
Laid work. I really like it - slowly and methodically covering a shape with neat rows. For this lobe I place the couching stitches in rows across the shape. Double pale mushroom pink stitches over a doubled fine twist. It fills rather quickly, until...
... it is worth the effort.
Happily Stitching,

DeleteThis has been really great to watch you stitch a goldwork project...informative and inspiring...one of these days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! One of these days I am going to try goldwork.
ReplyDeleteI've never done goldwork, but you are really tempting me with this project! It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI never was thinking the twist would look so good in the laid work. Is great to find new ideas and people which are very nice and happy to share .
ReplyDeleteThe work looks great and I am curious to see see the whole project now.
Well thank you. I have tried using twist a few times, but have not always been that happy with it. Sometimes it just looks 'cheap' and 'floppy' next to the jap. But this time I am quite happy with it. It is a better quality thread which probably helped :-)
DeleteBeautiful!!!!!
