What is silk shading embroidery?
Silk shading is a detailed embroidery technique that uses carefully placed stitches and subtle changes in thread colour to create realistic shading and depth. It is particularly effective for intricate subjects such as flowers, plants and insects.
Can I buy personalised embroidered artwork?
Yes. Selected pieces in the collection can be personalised, including embroidered family and bouquet designs. Personalisation options vary between makers, so check the individual product page for details before ordering.
