The elegant form, fragile iridescent wings, mystical bead-like eyes
and shimmering colours of the dragonfly have fascinated
needleworkers for centuries. Jane Nicholas takes a close look at
the anatomy of dragonflies and damselflies and their representation
in natural history. She combines those observations with designs
form as far back as the sixteenth-century and from throughout the
world and then uses a variety of materials and techniques to build
works of mesmerising beauty. Jane shares new ways of using unusual
materials to interpret and create your own dragonfly designs. The
projects - including a remarkable collection of nine creatures in a
'specimen box' - not only set off the dragonflies exquisitely, but
they exemplify Jane's impeccable eye for detail and composition.
This stunning book - fascinating for anyone interested in textured
embroidery is a pure delight to read.
