Goldwork & Metal Thread Flower Tutorial
Aurélie Clay, who manages the website Brodely, has worked up a very clear tutorial for making a goldwork & metal thread flower. She uses colored purls, couching them in a basketweave pattern, to fill the petals of a simple but beautiful flower. This would be a great technique for making ornaments! I love the the idea, the materials, the whole technique! If you get a chance, check out her tutorial. She's also selling colored purls on Brodely, if you're looking for a European resource. I was thinking this technique would work great with Thistle Threads new silk-wrapped purls, too.
Enjoy the tutorial!

Thanks for the link to this great site, which I spent some time browsing. It made me wish that I'd kept up with my French. Maybe someone should offer foreign language courses for embroiderers! I've thought about putting together a glossary of common needlework terms in other languages to assist me when visiting blogs like these or looking at foreign-language embroidery books.

I was thinking that too :-D
I've been having a go at the pink bug needlework nibble this week and am enjoying working with the wiggly worms even though I found them a bit fiddly at first.
Wow, that's a gorgeous effect. Thank you for sharing that link!!
That was very beautiful, Mary, Thank you for sharing!
