Paisley Power! Embroidered Silk Cuff

[TheSapphireMoon]

This is completely amazing!  I love the variety of stiches and the colors are excellent.  What stitch was used on the curly parts on each end by the leaves, the part in blue?  I think the same stitch is used in the goldenrod straight border around the main part of the paisley teardrop, too.  That one interests me and I'd be interested in learning how to do it

Oh, and I'm totally pinning this when I get home...pinterest is blocked as 'social networking' at work

I will have to say that jemimah introduced to me silk thread....I am not sure if I love her or hate her...

It is beautiful and you can see from this piece, just how gorgeous it is (well, of course the design and stitching is very important as well!)....

Beautiful work...just beautiful...

I will continue to be inspired to learn and do more stitching from needlework artists like you! (

The pale blue squirly bits and the pale gold main teardrop shape are just chain stitch, very simple. The other "lines" are coral stitch, one of my faves - it has a fun knotty texture.

Resistance is futile! Mwahahahaha!!

Thanks everyone!
