A little preview of what’s to come next year, @crumblekat is the first owner of a framed piece of embroidery featuring black and silver goldwork insects and a scrunched sequin leopard spot. It was designed and embroidered especially for her a couple of months ago and I framed it up for Christmas. #goldwork #goldworkembroidery #blackgoldwork #handembroidery #embroidery #goldworkinsects #theperpetualmaker
