We’ve done the groundwork, ready to break into the colourful materials. Class 2 of the Intermediate Goldwork Jungle Online Class is now out. Focusing on the midground section of our jungle design we will work with green, pink and orange bright check, smooth purl and rough purl.

All of this classes techniques are created using cut worked purls to achieve grass and palm effects, fruit loops and layered chipping. This part of the design eases us into the more tricky and time consuming goldwork and gold thread techniques yet to come within this stunning piece.

Equipment needed:

• Thread snips
• Goldwork Purl snips
• Laying tool: Mellor, Stiletto, Awl
• Wax
• Bullion (velvet) Board
