The Metal Thread Pendant Swirl design is a Level 1: Beginners of my Further Education kits. You can select one of the set colours for the pendant or choose your own colours. Please email me if you would like to order supplies to make more than one pendant or brooch. The kit comes with a 10 page instruction booklet with step-by-step diagrams and instructions as well as a FREE PDF file with over 60 colour work-in-progress pictures of the entire stitching process on the pendant. See the photo gallery pictures for some examples of sections of the PDF file. The embroidery is worked by sewing down strands of pearl purl which is a coiled metal thread, the stitches are hidden in the coils of the thread. In-between the lines of pearl purl are sections of check purl chips (soft metal beads). The finished pendant can be painted with a clear non-yellowing varnish so it does not tarnish. I am offering free on-going critique with this kit…..you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery.
