Gold Work Sparrow Kit - Kathleen Laurel Sage

Gold Work Sparrow Kit - Kathleen Laurel Sage

Learn the traditional techniques of couching gold cords and applying metallic leathers in this contemporary embroidery of a sparrow amongst pink flowers.  Experience working with T71 and 1mm cords as you couch the design.  Use check and purl wires to create texture and light-catching effects and then add colour with satin and stem stitch.  

This charming bird is approximately 5" x 8" (12.5cm x 20 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.
