Fabric – Silk Organza
$5.10 – $10.20 USD
The silk organza fabric is a fine transparent fabric that is strong, non-stretchy, non-shiny and non-glossy unlike some organza fabrics. It makes a great fabric for shadow work embroidery as the embroidery becomes the feature and not the fabric. The embroideries in the pictures opposite are worked on silk organza fabric in herringbone stitch.

Stretcher Bar Frames
Stretcher bars are inexpensive wooden embroidery frames in which the fabric can be pulled really tight. The end of the bars have teeth that you slot together to form a frame at any size that you require for your needlework. I recommend the stretcher bar frames to work my hand embroidery kits in because they are very quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame.
I highly recommend purchasing the brass thumb tacks which are stronger and sharper than office supplies thumb tacks or quilters thumb tacks.

Shadow Work Angel Fish Kit
The Shadow Work Angel Fish is an intermediate surface embroidery technique.
The shadow work embroidery is made up of bands of herringbone stitch at the back of the fabric that show through at the front as a shadow of colour.
I have designed my shadow work embroideries as pieces of art. The angel fish looks lovely mounted between two window mat boards and hung from the corners like a mobile so that both sides of the embroidery can be seen and makes a great bathroom decoration.

Needle Painting Iris Kit
The Iris is worked in needle painting also known as thread painting and long and short stitch.
This is the most realistic form of surface embroidery which is worked in staggered straight stitches in a single strand of embroidery thread on a closely woven fabric, blending rows of colour to create a very realistic embroidery. The sheen of the threads adds to the soft effect of the petals and leaves.
The Iris is an intermediate design, please visit the Needle Painting Information page for more information on needle painting and rating of the designs from easy to hard.
