I love the blue of cornflowers and this thread painted version has been embroidered in beautiful shiny silk floss. Here it is getting a super fine outline of gold thread to finish it off. This highly stylised design is based on embroidered book bindings of the seventeenth century and is from my book on Thread Painting and Silk Shading Embroidery. . . . #ThreadPainting #needlepainting #silkshading #peinturealaiguille #ricamoamano #broderiemain #seventeenthcentury #17thcenturyembroidery #silkthreadembroidery #silkfloss #cornflower #embroideredbookbinding #embroideredbook #britishstitchers #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #ihavethisthingwiththread #embroiderylove #embroiderytutorial #embroiderybook #embroiderylesson #embroideryinstaguild #stitchbook #手刺繍 #historicalembroidery #flowerembroidery #silkthreadembroidery #longandshortstitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEWz2MHJTe/?igshid=go8wt4cpmneg
