Silk on Silk, Satin Stitch - Complete Stole
Here's a photo of one complete side of the stole featured previously. Only two types of stitches are used: satin stitch and stem stitch. The embroidery is worked in soie d'alger on gold Italian silk.
The piece has not been steamed yet, so the wrinkles that are evident will be gone once I'm ready to assemble the whole thing. I used a scroll frame with the sides laced to supply tension.
You can see close ups of the various elements of the stole here.

Your stole is awe-inspiring. It's wonderful to see a picture of the elements as a whole (or half, I suppose!).
It makes me happy to see that this level of workmanship has not been lost to the ages. You make this beginner straighten her spine! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing a full shot of the stole! Good luck on finishing the other side!
I followed the link to this gorgeous work from Sharon Boggon's website. Your stitching is absolutely beautiful!
I'm absolutely mind-boggled at this beautifully executed design.
I came over from a link on Sharon B's blog..
Your work is so beautiful...such fine work!
This is truly amazing. *stunned and reverent silence* If I weren't a bloke I'd get in to embroidering right away, but I fear I'd be stitched up before beginning. Keep up the good work!
Just beautiful... and inspiring.
This is beautiful!!! I am new when it comes to embroidery but you certainly have given me more reason to keep practicing....thank u for all that you have shared with us.
Thanks, Sharon! I'm glad you like it. Keep practicing! Embroidery's a wonderful art and a great way to unwind!
Your stole is amazing!!! I have just stumbled onto your site and can't seem to quit browsing. My husband (all man, all Marine) has even been looking over my shoulder and likes your work.
THanks

Hi Mary, stumbled on to your website and am really glad I did. The Stole is absolutely awe inspiring. I have gazed at it, and gazed at it....and passed the link on to friends. Any chance of posting the line drawing of the design? I am thinking I want to attempt a section or two.
Have found the video tutorials also really good.
