Following the success of Crewel Intentions and Crewel Twists, which
introduced embroiderers to needle-lace and loom-weaving techniques
in their designs, comes Crewel Creatures, the third title in this
series by renowned embroiderer Hazel Blomkamp. Animals and birds
are popular subjects in crewel embroidery, and here Hazel
introduces needleworkers to the beautiful, exotic creatures found
in the African wild. Using the Jacobean embroidery style for which
she is well known, and incorporating the subtle influence of the
fractal designs found in zentangle art, Hazel also brings beads and
other three-dimensional elements into her designs to capture the
stunning and colourful art that is traditionally associated with
Africa. Those new to Hazels work will find the essential crewel
stitches, needle-lace and needle-weaving techniques needed in an
easy-to-follow how-to section and stitch gallery inside the book,
and all embroiderers will be impressed by the wealth of design
ideas and inspiration Crewel Creatures has to offer. With every
project, step-by-step instructions and gorgeous photographs are
included, along with a template of the design. All the projects are
stitched and embellished on natural coloured linen, making them not
only perfect for framing for display but also wonderfully
economical for embroiderers to work on. For readers looking for
something different and new to stitch, and for those keen to
challenge themselves with more complex embroidery techniques, this
latest addition to Hazel's Crewel series is an absolute must-have.
