Crewel Embroidery : 7 Enchanting Designs Inspired by Fairy Tales

In this beautiful book, Tatiana Popova shows the reader how to create stunning crewelwork embroideries inspired by traditional fairy tales, including The Wizard of Oz, Karolcia, the Wild Swans and Cinderella. This magical collection takes as its central theme a magnificent embroidery depicting the ‘Tree of Happiness’. Each part of the embroidery is then explored in detail through stitch diagrams, explanations of the threads used, and alternative ways of working. There are seven wonderful designs in total, each dedicated to one of Tatiana’s favourite fairy tales, and all illustrated with gorgeous photographs and informative diagrams. Over 90 stitches are described in the book, all worked using stranded cotton and cotton pearl thread rather than traditional crewel wool, which gives the embroideries a fresh, modern appeal. Whether you are new to embroidery or an experienced embroiderer looking for inspiration and expert guidance, Tatiana’s beautiful book is one you will turn to again and again.Author: Popova, Tatiana,author Contributors: Popova, Tatiana,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 17 Jan 2020 Bic Classification: Needlework & fabric crafts, Embroidery crafts bicCode: Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Search Press Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Tatiana Popova Dimension (cm): 279x216x11 mm Package Dimension (cm): 21x280x215 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 675
