Since I've already mentioned crewel this morning, how about I send you to Christa's blog to read about her goldwork class with Michele Roberts? Michele does gorgeous goldwork but you have to see it in person to appreciate how 3-D traditional English style goldwork is and how lovely it looks. There is nothing more beautiful than gold metal threads arranged in a pleasing design!
