From Zeshuregi: Hooked embroidery

Zeshuregi of Creative Mind blog creates gorgeous garments, lavishly embroidered with threads, sequins, and beads using a technique similar to tambour embroidery. In a personal note, Zeshuregi told me,

This is not a tambour embroidery, but really seems like that. This hook is just like a crochet hook, but it’s having a very slim needle. I am sending you the close image of my hook.

Fascinating! This is the first time I’ve seen this technique, but I hope it won’t be the last. See detailed photos at Zeshuregi’s blog. And be sure to add her to your blog reader — she promises a tutorial sometime soon.
