Welcome to Blackwork Journey.
Founded in 2008, the site has been dedicated to making available original designs which move away from the traditional approach to blackwork and other aspects of embroidery.

These designs use simple stitches and a variety of threads and colours to encourage the beginner and challenge the experienced embroiderer!

All embroidery designs on this site are copyrighted by the designer,
Elizabeth Almond, and may not be used in any form without express permission.
