Spring lamb
I went for a zigzag pattern underside couching in white gold to evoke tufts of spring grass, and then decided his daffodil needed a little silver outline.
He’s available as a companion kit to the Winter dragon on my shop

This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

The gold background is perfect.
gareth hates the gold, loves the lamb
It came out well
He looks a very fine and sober fellow, and the gold twill effect is just right!
