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; and, 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.
