Laid Japanese gold covered with counted patterns is the main concept of this design. There are five petals stitched in warm rose colors of varied silks that feature this accomplishment. Each petal is surrounded with gold edges that resemble cloisonné. The leaves are worked in unconventional eyelets and stepped stitch. The pattern-on-pattern background effect includes a border of Rhodes stitch and gold paillettes. Elegant rose crystal beads surrounded by bullion and check purl golds are the finishing touches that make this design a treasure. |
