When Clara (@clarastitching) first recommended Hazel Everett's book, Goldwork, I immediately purchased it. Last weekend, she also recommended Hazel's second book, "Goldwork and Silk Shading", which was published posthumously. Of course, I purchased that one before our class was over, and it arrived yesterday.
The second book contains much of the information from the first one, but has completely different designs. It also incorporated more thread work, and then combinations of silk shading (with threads) and goldwork. There's so much beautiful inspiration!
Clara has stitched the piece on the cover of Goldwork, and I intend to do that one also. I have a few other pieces to complete first, and I suspect this one will be more of a long-term effort. No rush, you understand.
If you'd like to learn goldwork, or simply read and learn, I can highly recommend either book for you. I ordered mine through Amazon, but I'm sure they're available from other vendors, too. I thought you might like to know.
