Seashell II is one of my Introduction to Goldwork kits. Seashell II is a fantastic opportunity to try working on our unique hand dyed silk velvet and to try a new technique. It is suitable for those who have never done any goldwork or those who have not tried a wide variety of embroidery techniques. It is stitched on a wonderful mixture of greys, aquas, mauves and coral on this very tactile fabric and uses leather padded to different levels, couched threads and beads. An ideal starting point and a companion to the more advanced design, Seashell I.
The design is based on a tulip shell, the wonderful colours found inside the shell and the muted colours found on the beach and the seashore.
