Book description
Celebrate nature and embroider the delights of the garden with the beautiful second book from embroidery artist Emillie Ferris.Thread painting, also known as needlepainting or silk shading, is a form of embroidery that creates a realistic effect using a single strand of thread and one simple stitch; the 'long and short stitch'. Using this technique you can effectively paint with thread in a similar way to brushstrokes on a canvas.This richly illustrated guide includes: A step-by-step introduction to embroidery techniques, including advice on materials and fully illustrated explanations of the stitches and skills needed. Nine exclusive patterns inspired by the garden and Emillie's love of nature, including motifs that she is best known for such as flowers, birds and butterflies. High-quality iron-on templates for easy design transfer onto the fabric, with full guidance on how to use them.Not only are the embroideries sublime, but the book itself is a thing of beauty, with incredible attention to detail, from the exquisite photography to the lavish hardback binding and gold foiling, making it a real treasure for the book lover.
