Ancient European tradition lives on in goldwork, an art form
encompassing embroidery with all types of metal threads, not only
gold. Once reserved for royalty and other aristocrats, goldwork is
now available to all through this fully illustrated guide. Part
historical reference, part project plan book, and fully stuffed
with pattern templates, it is an authoritative sourcebook on the
history, materials, and techniques of goldwork embroidery. There
are 15 projects for readers to complete, such as the Ornamental
Fan, Portrait of a Woman, a lush Cornucopia, and an arresting
Byzantine Angel. Color photographs show examples of medieval
designs, and provide visual guideposts through each new project,
while a section on metal thread manufacturing delivers a rich
historical perspective.
