The design is a replica of late 17th century floral purse from Phillipa Turnbull’s collection. It features a beautifully shaded large pansy with strawberries growing on its glistening silver branches under an intricate arch. The arch is supported by two raised pillars outlined with fine gold and covered by a lovely hillock with bouncy silk. Two mirrored pansies grow from the hillock with gorgeously shaded petals and leaves that ringed with fashionable 17th century scrolls.
The design is the exact size as the original purse. The embroidery is worked with silks, metal cords and purls in a distinctive historic way, and it includes such techniques as shading with silks, applying cords with invisible stitches, couching wrapped silk, and creating raised elements.

Originally offered as part of the May 2021 Festival. Soon to be made available as an online self-paced course.
The design is inspired by a 17th century embroidered panel that depicts flowers and insects in metalworked frames. The moth is stitched with beautiful flat silks using techniques from the Elizabethan period. It is placed inside a richly embellished goldwork frame worked with three different types of goldwork threads and tiny gilt spangles.
The design is a part of an Elizabethan series of classes which explore historic embroidery techniques and designs around the theme of stylised flowers and insects in various metalwork frames.
