What is "stumpwork"?
Stumpwork is a form of embroidery that creates three-dimensional designs by adding raised elements to the fabric. This technique combines various embroidery stitches with additional materials like ribbons, beads, and sometimes wire or felt to achieve a sculptural effect. The result is intricate, textured designs such as flowers, insects, or figures that stand out from the fabric, adding depth and visual interest. Stumpwork is used to decorate items like framed art, accessories, and historical garments.
