Shadow Work
Shadow work is a form of embroidery worked on the back of sheer or semi-sheer cloth. The thread, or rather its shadow, shows through to the front of the cloth. The main stitch used for shadow work is closed herringbone stitch, which forms a layer of criss-crossing threads. On the front of the cloth the embroidery has the appearance of back stitches.
