Gardening with Copper

The third in a superb trio of exquisite designs, the glowing warmth of copper metal threads combines with lustrous rose and grass green silk to create this enchanting parterre garden, complete with beds of perfect pink tulips surrounding a large flower motif, crowned with a sparkling rhinestone at its centre.

Worked onto silk fabric using pearl purl, bright check, smooth passing and special twist, the rich gleam of the metal threads is reflected in the tiny watermelon glass beads dotted around the design.
