I was excited when the Auckland Art Gallery asked me to design an embroidery kit referencing their recent exhibiton "The Corsini Collection" - an exhibition of Renaissance and Baroque art. Included in the exhibiton was some embroidered clothing as well as domestic items from the period - including a recipe book! It was a fantastic project to be involved with and this is the result. A bouquet of Renaissance-esque flowers on a black background sprinkled with a bit of bling! Those Renaissance ladies and gents liked their finery as the paintings and costumes show.
This is a Limited Edition kit - I only have a few available as the rest went to the Art Gallery. The kit includes:
Pre-printed fabric - a white outline on black linen (approx 33cm x 33cm)
Maderia threads
2 needles
Beads
Instructions
Colour and Stitch Guide
Intermediate Level
I made a clutch bag (pictured) but you could also make a tote bag, a cushion or just pop into a pretty frame. (There's no backing fabric in the kit).
