RSN Certificate – Goldwork
My journey, experiences and things I learn as part of completing my final module of the RSN Certificate in Technical Hand Embroidery – Goldwork.
The piece needs to demonstrate couching using Japanese thread, both on felt padding and directly onto the fabric, combination couching, purl purl, chipping and cutwork.
My design is a gold koala – what I believe is the first one to be stitched!
