Gina-B Silkworks Gantell Cloisterwork Flowers Kit

The Cloisterwork method of making wire flowers has a long history. Using what were originally some of the most expensive materials - real gold and silver wires along with precious stones - beautiful flowers were created, often by nuns (which is where the name comes from). These glittering displays caught the light from both candles and stained glass windows adding sparkle to the dark churches and chapels. These techniques are still used in Austria and Switzerland, as well as in many modern passementerie items.
