Silk Shading
A series of long and short stitches are created to shade colour, also known as Painting with a Needle. Traditionally using silk threads, materials can be adjusted to contemporise the technique. Small bugs are stitches onto silk organza, whilst larger stitches are used to embellish the adornments.
