Contrast in Crewel Embroidery

Modern Designs on Light and Dark

Tatiana Papova

Description

Tatiana Papova offers innovative, inspirational and instructional ideas for enjoying colour in crewelwork embroidery.

The book features:

  • A complete guide to the tools and materials needed
  • A guide to planning successful colour, thread and stitch choices all explained with invaluable personal insights
  • 4 'smart doodles’, which allow you to produce an accomplished finished piece while you practice your stitches
  • 4 paired 'light and night' embroideries: each pair uses one design but varies the colours of the threads, fabric colour and stitches used, to give two distinctly different results. Each project contains a complete thread and stitch list, which corresponds to detailed photography of the finished embroidery, to make it as accessible as possible.
  • All templates included
  • A full stitch directory with more than 130 crewelwork stitches explained step by step, from back stitch to woven wheel
