Blue Tulips

This  is exciting 'blackwork.' The light-dancing touch of metallic thread mingles with the soft solid color (yes, color! blue!)  of silk.Thin versus thick threads spin around each other to  give a sense ofdepth and dimension. Stitches combine to  create pattern that delightsthe eye. (But the best part is  the light play from the metallic thread.)  Enjoy this intermediate-level project designed to  experience blackwork-styleembroidery with a variety of  threads.
