Crewel Animal Portraits : 6 Stunning Projects in Jacobean Embroidery, Paperback / softback Book

Crewel Animal Portraits : 6 Stunning Projects in Jacobean Embroidery Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Renowned embroiderer and best-selling author, Hazel Blomkamp, is back with a brand new book in the popular Crewel series.

In this fifth title in Hazel Blomkamp's series on crewel embroidery with a twist, the focus is on animal portraits.

Crewel Animal Portraits is a celebration of Hazel's signature techniques: a wide variety of surface/crewel stitches, some of which are brand new, and many with a different take, or different ways of combining stitches to make them more interesting. Also included are needle lace techniques used as embroidery stitches, loom weaving techniques modified for embroidery, and unique combinations of both of these.

The incorporation of beads and crystals adds even more dazzle to the intricate designs.

There are six projects, each explained with detailed step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, with design templates and a full stitch gallery providing everything readers need to recreate them with ease.

The sumptuous and inspiring projects comprise a tiger, lion, zebra, giraffe, monkey and leopard. For embroiderers looking for something different and new to stitch, and for those keen to challenge themselves with more complex embroidery techniques, this book is a must-have.
