The kit only includes the materials required to work this design because the pattern and instructions have been
published in Australian Country Craft Vol.16 No.8 (back issues are available from Express Publications in Australia -
free call for back issues is 1800 801 647). The background is pink Dupion silk but it is also available on cream or
pale gold Dupion silk. She is the sweetest angel with her pert little features and tight golden curls!
Her wings are couched with No.8 Japanese Gold. Her long sleeved robe is outlined with overstretched gilt
pearl purl wound with purple stranded cotton and is decorated with clusters of spangles and single spangles with
loops of gilt bright check and bordered with couched gilt medium rococo and gilt 1 1/2 twist.
Her underskirt is simply decorated with a row of s-ing worked alternately with gilt and purple rough purls.
This is an excellent piece for the beginner. Consider working this design to give away as a Christmas present as well as working one for your own home.
