The simplicity of this Lily of the Valley posy worked in Shadow Work belies the skilled steps required to complete this elegant design.
The fun of shadow work is seeing the layers of fabric combined with specific stitches create a design that shows off the reverse of the work allowing it to be visible from the front. Stitches are always worked with the knowledge that if the thread is carried across the back of the work, it must be done with purpose as it will be visible from the front and will form part of the design. The design also includes ‘captured sequins’.
