OR
NUE DRAGONFLY
The Or
Nue Dragonfly is an intermediate metal thread technique
and can be worked in Gold,
Silver and Copper. There is a choice of two dragonfly designs in
each kit.
The
instructions are detailed with lots of diagrams. The fabric and felt
padding comes with the design hand drawn on so there are no worries
about transferring the design.
Working the embroidery:
The center of the design is worked in Or Nue.
Or
Nue is the couching down of passing thread using a similar colour
or/and a contrasting colour to create a design on the passing thread.
The dragonfly pattern is created by couching down the passing thread
using a green silk thread and Metallic threads (the colours used on
the gold design do not show up well in the picture).
Rococco
is used to border the Or Nue design. Smooth Purl No. 7 and Bright
Check No. 7 are used for the triangle shapes. The diamond shapes are
worked in Or Nue and the swirls are worked in No. 1 Pearl Purl.
The
Gold Or Nue Dragonfly kit comes with a choice of off white or black
silk noil background fabric, you can also purchase the supplies only
if you would like to work the Or Nue Dragonfly in gold, silver and
copper and do not require the instruction booklet again.

kit, for more details go to - Free
