The Art and Craft of Goldwork by Antonia Lomny

Goldwork is stunning and sumptuous but surprisingly it is not hard to do. The beautiful projects in this book rely on a simple couching stitch to capture the thread to the cloth. There is so much that can be done with goldwork; it can be combined with lush fabrics, brightly colored silk threads, rich ribbons, beads and sequins to create the most gorgeous textures and designs. The Art and Craft of Goldwork will inspire beginners and experienced embroiderers alike to create their own designs or to make one of the 15 stunning projects, all of which include clear instructions and detailed templates.
