Gold Work King of the Lions Kit - Kathleen Laurel Sage

Gold Work King of the Lions Kit - Kathleen Laurel Sage

Learn the traditional techniques of couching gold cords and applying coloured metallic leathers in this contemporary embroidery of a lion lying in wait for his prey.  Experience working with T71 and 1mm cords as you couch the design onto a contrasting and dramatic black fabric.  Use applied check and purl wires along with chippings to create texture and light-catching effects.  Then add colours with satin and stem stitch.

This stunning lion is approximately 7" x 9" (18cm x 23 cm) when completed.  

The kit comes with all gold work materials.  In addition, you will need a 10" wooden embroidery hoop, cotton sewing thread to match your cords, a selection of sewing needles to include a beading needle and a large-eyed bodkin/tapestry needle for plunging cords.
