Seller's description

<— Butterfly Embroidery Pattern and Digital Tutorial —>

Painting with thread is my dearest passion and most loved art form. It allows you to create realistic effects by using one single strand of thread, this technique is often referred to as needlepainting, threadpainting or silk shading. You can create beautiful colour gradients, magical details and flowing stitch directions that are perfect if you want to embroider animals, people, flora and fauna. I have been stitching every day since I fell in love with embroidery in 2013, and you can follow my journey on Instagram @emillieferris

If you have been considering learning the art of needlepainting but are unsure where to start then this tutorial is for you! Its full of illustrations, diagrams, step by step photos and a printable pattern ready to transfer to your 5” hoop.
