Slow down and embroider your way through the changing seasons with
the beautiful debut book from embroidery artist and rising star
Emillie Ferris. Needlepainting, also known as thread painting or
silk shading, is a form of embroidery that creates a realistic,
lifelike effect using a single strand of thread and one simple
stitch - the 'long and short' stitch. You can create gorgeous
colour gradients, magical details and flowing stitch directions
that are perfect if you want to embroider flora and fauna. In this
richly illustrated step-by-step guide, self-taught embroidery
artist Emillie Ferris shows you how to pick up a needle and thread
in the same way as a paintbrush to create strokes of colour and
bring images to life on fabric. Inspired by nature and the changing
seasons, Emillie has created five new and exclusive patterns for
the book, four that reflect each season in turn and one special
design that brings the natural year together into one showstopper
embroidery. This book is the culmination of all of Emillie's skills
and years of experience in this wonderful, meditative art form.
Each design has around 60 detailed step-by-step photos, showing
every stage of the process, so that even complete beginners can
follow along and create beautiful embroideries. If you have been
considering learning the art of needlepainting but are unsure where
to start, then this book is for you! 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, making it a real treasure for the book lover.
Plus, high quality iron-on transfers at the back of the book allow
you to transfer the designs directly onto fabric to get started
straight away. In this book Emillie generously shares her tried and
tested tips and techniques, including advice on materials,
transferring designs onto fabric, and fully illustrated
explanations of the stitches and skills needed. The five in-depth
projects draw on Emillie's love of nature, including motifs that
she is best known for such as flowers, foliage, bees and fungi.
This beautiful book will become an indispensable and treasured
guide allowing you to paint with thread the Emillie Ferris way.
