I just finished my beloved couture hoops that blend stitching with metal in a way that is new and exciting to me.  After forming hammered teardrop hoops with gold filled wire, I created embroidered crescent shapes with a bohemian mix of gold, mint and bronze.  Each hoop is double-sided and fully reversible, so there’s no need to worry about flipping.  From far away they may pass for enamel or cloisonne, but up close you can see the detail of stitching and the tactile, dimensional effect the embroidery creates!
