I have embarked on this goldwork adventure
the way I embark on most of my adventures
by doing the research, buying a bunch of books,
These are two of my favorites
watching a bunch of videos and pictures,
inhaling the the knowledge within,
And then trying out the techniques,
through small projects and kits
that is to say
enthusiastically jumping in with both feet
SO far, so good

| Gerry's Block |
False gold Round Robin with Crazy Quilting International
In which we used all the cheep left over christmas ribbon,
gold lame and what-not we could find.
This was the block I did for Gerry Kruger,^ somewhere around 2012
re translated that block for this project and
Working from the goldwork masterclass book
Using actual tools and techniques this time
I am coming up with much better results
outlined in gold passing thread the pomegranate and leaf
looks much better It's such a tiny detail but it adds so much
Mr.Snail got his Shell using 1 strand of a 3 strand
silk wool, I don't know which brand
this is a remnant that has been kicking around
for a decade or more.
I needle wove it separately with a simple stumpwork Detached Buttonhole stitch
Then tacked it down around the batting shape and stuffed it a little more
