AuthorJane Nicholas
Jane Nicholas is an experienced embroiderer in goldwork, crewel and ethnic embroidery but specialises in stumpwork. She has been researching this technique for more than sixteen years, during which time she has authored two books on the topic.
SummaryIn this wonderful book Jane shares her methods of using beautiful threads and fabrics - and beetle wings - to create beautiful designs and projects in many forms of embroidery. Some are simplicity itself - an elegant beetle shape embroidered in glittering metallic threads to reflect the iridescent colours of the wing cases set in a paperweight, for example. Others are delightful floral pictures in which a glittering stumpwork beetle plays a starring part.Lavishly illustrated in colour, this book with detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by numerous explanatory diagrams is a fascinating addition to the working bookshelf of anyone interested in dimensional and textured embroidery.
