Hi Deredere,
I would use a gold passing thread wich you couch on the surface, but first i
would embroider the red areas. You could simply cover the red areas with
tiny chainstitches. After that couch on the gold passing thread. My guess is
that it would be quicker to do, than to cut out and aplique the silk to the
surface, because you had to treat the raw edges somehow.
Lovely portrait.

Hi,
Several years ago I found a picture on the internet that I really liked.

And several years ago I bought a very nice blue silk.
I was wondering if red wool felt and gold cord would work for the
embroidery.
