The book’s theme of flora and fauna has universal appeal. A simple image such as a five-petal daisy is the starting point for understanding simple stitchery, textures and finally the third dimension (gerbera, dog rose, bougainvillea, heather and other fynbos). Under fauna the book offers a range of insects, including dragonflies, butterflies and grasshoppers. Many interpretations and techniques are shared, with striking examples of textured embroidery. To help the reader understand colour, there are 12 colour themes with numerous exciting projects. This book is filled with novel concepts in mixed-media embroidery. Lavishly illustrated with the authors’ own and commissioned photographs, JUST STITCH shows what can be achieved, thus encouraging the reader to produce beautiful embroidery works of creative merit. Also included are an extensive stitch glossary and templates for most of the designs. |
