Description

This design, inspired by the works of the famed 19th century artist and designer Edward Burne-Jones and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, will set the mood of the romantic era in stitch. In this embroidery, we will explore the use of appliqué on a silk background, how to transfer the design onto an appliqued area with a stitched thread tracing, and outlining and edging in flat silk. This piece will continue to challenge the skills of the embroiderer with the combined use of couched threads and spangles. The background elements feature stitch-able metal threads in relief, flat silk laying as a filling stitch, as well as split stitch shading for figures.
