Product Description
Product Description
Taking the best of the traditional and the new, New Ideas in Goldwork is a beautiful exploration of the potential of this needlework technique, combining it with metal-thread work in experimental ways. Expert and ex-Royal School of Needlework teacher Tracy Franklin takes the technique to new heights to inspire all embroideres. Reference ideas from notebooks, cuttings and new and old embroideries are included. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and clear line diagrams, New Ideas in Goldwork covers: - the basics of the traditional style, from design to simple padding of gold and metal threads - two basic techniques of laid work and cut purl work, as these are fundamental in working a design correctly - illustration and instruction on different stitch types - how to apply gold and metal threads in the most intricate and inspiring ways. Colour, detail and good design are the key points, always showing how exciting and sophisticated gold and metal work can be. Finally, the readers are encouraged to use their own creativity.

New Ideas in Goldwork by Tracey A. Franklin,
By D. Steel (Telford, Shropshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Ideas in Goldwork (Hardcover)
What a wonderful book. I think this is the best book around on goldwork. Not only does it clearly show you the traditional techniques of working goldwork, but it goes much further in showing you how to use these techniques to produce original and innovative pieces of work. There is a very clear section on materials and threads. As a City and Guilds student, I know I am going to find this book invaluable and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to produce both traditional and creative goldwork. It has given me a wealth of ideas.

A brilliant book. I'm a C&G Embroidery Diploma student but hadn't done any goldwork before. This book shows traditional and new creative techniques clearly with pictures and text. Also lovely inspiring pictures of completed pieces and an excellent reference tool.
