Glorious is the only word to describe Hazel Everett's dazzling goldwork. Using traditional methods, she creates sumptuous effects, and jewel-coloured metal threads add yet another dimension to her stunning work. Every technique is clearly explained through a combination of easy-to-follow instructions, photographs and clear diagrams, bringing the necessary skills within the scope of beginners and experienced embroiderers alike. A collection of beautiful projects allows the embroiderer to put the techniques into practice and develop their own skills. Have a go, and you'll soon be producing gorgeous goldwork of your own.-Embroiderers' Guild --Embroiders Guild
Product Description
Hazel Everett is an exceptionally skilled goldwork embroiderer, and in this beautiful book she passes on her knowledge and expertise in a way that is both practical and visually stunning. Drawing on traditional methods, she creates works that are brilliantly executed, in a style that is both modern and unique. Here, Hazel provides expert guidance and advice on an extensive range of goldwork embroidery techniques. Her detailed descriptions and step-by-step instructions are accompanied by clear diagrams and embroidered samples, all carefully and exquisitely worked by the author herself. Throughout the book there are numerous examples of the author's own work, providing inspiration for embroiderers who wish to extend their skills in this fascinating area. The book ends with ten fabulous projects, including richly worked samplers, Christmas tree decorations and needle books, all using the full range of techniques, threads and other materials that the reader has learnt about in the previous sections of the book. This is an invaluable reference for those already familiar with the art of goldwork embroidery, as well as an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to embark upon it.

Format:Paperback
This is the best book of goldwork I have ever seen. The projects are beautiful and clearly explained, and there is so much inspiration in there. The author uses classic techniques but also innovates with colour, new materials and working in 3 dimensions. Even my husband (who doesn't sew at all) was mighty impressed. Apart from anything else, the book is a beautiful object- the photography is excellent and it is well laid out. It's good to pick up and enjoy at odd moments as well as using it for instruction. The day after I got the book from amazon, I went to the knitting and stitching show at Alexandra Palace, where I could see the book getting snapped up everywhere, clearly my fellow enthusiasts agree with my opinion! Right at the end of the show, I actually found hazel herself, saw her work first hand and spoke to her, which was really lovely. I found out she runs goldwork courses down the road from me, which was an unexpected bonus!

This book is absolutely fantastic. You wont need another Goldwork book if you buy this one. It covers not only the types of gold thread but also the techniques. It is extremely comprehensive. The projects at the end of the book are stunning.
