Gold Work Woodpecker Kit- Kathleen Laurel Sage

Gold Work Woodpecker Kit- Kathleen Laurel Sage

Learn the traditional techniques of couching gold cords and applying metallic leathers in this contemporary embroidery of a woodpecker hammering on a tree stump.  Experience working with T71 cord, rococo and 1mm cord as you couch the design.  Use check and purl wires to create texture and light-catching effects and then add colour with satin stitch and stem stitch.  This charming bird is approximately 9"x5" (23cm x12cm) 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.
