Some of Benton and Johnson's gold work kits are on sale, but that's not really why I posted the link to their shop today. I want you to put your cursor over the lion and then the unicorn pieces on this page, then click on Quick View. You will see the amazing dimension achieved in these animal images from basically straight stitches and some padding with a bit of embellishment (like a sequin mane).

I find all this very inspiring!
Have fun looking at it all. Metal embroidery like this is wonderful.
UPDATE: Mary Corbet explains what you'll find inside one of the B and J gold work kits.
