Trefoil and Seeds is a goldwork embroidery design worked with #5 Japan thread, couched using silk couching thread in a traditional brick pattern. At the heart of the design, five dimentional seed elements are formed by padding with gold felt and worked in a combination of rough and smooth purls, creating contrast in both texture and shine. The stem, along with the outlines surrounding the seeds, is stitched using two sizes of pearl purl, providing structure and definition. To further enhance the piece, stitchers may opt to fill the background using a darning pattern, adding a layer of subtle complexity to the composition. Techniques featured in this piece include brick pattern couching, padding, satin stitch and chipping. Proficiency level is beginner, and the finished size is approximately three inches square.
