Gold

Posted on by

This embroidery was created using a mix of various gold thread scraps and flora-cotton thread in color no. 507.

Finished dimensions: approximately 56 x 32 cm. Stitched on linen canvas (8 threads per cm) with techniques such as full and half cross-stitch, couched goldwork, and backstitch.

The process was a playful exploration of free imagination, without a set plan, and it was a joy to work with gold threads of many different qualities.
