Renowned embroiderer and best-selling author, Hazel Blomkamp, is
back with a brand new book in the popular Crewel series. In this
fifth title in Hazel Blomkamp's series on crewel embroidery with a
twist, the focus is on animal portraits. Crewel Animal Portraits is
a celebration of Hazel's signature techniques: a wide variety of
surface/crewel stitches, some of which are brand new, and many with
a different take, or different ways of combining stitches to make
them more interesting. Also included are needle lace techniques
used as embroidery stitches, loom weaving techniques modified for
embroidery, and unique combinations of both of these. The
incorporation of beads and crystals adds even more dazzle to the
intricate designs. There are six projects, each explained with
detailed step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, with
design templates and a full stitch gallery providing everything
readers need to recreate them with ease. The sumptuous and
inspiring projects comprise a tiger, lion, zebra, giraffe, monkey
and leopard. For embroiderers looking for something different and
new to stitch, and for those keen to challenge themselves with more
complex embroidery techniques, this book is a must-have.
In this fourth title in Hazel Blomkamp's series on crewel
embroidery with a twist, the focus is on farm and game birds. The
birds give a nod to current trends, most notably the Zentangle look
with crewel-style filling-in stitches and techniques. Crewel Birds
is a celebration of Hazel's signature techniques: a wide variety of
surface/crewel stitches, some of which are brand new and many with
a different take or different ways of combining stitches to make
them more interesting. Also included are needle lace techniques
used as embroidery stitches, loom weaving techniques modified for
embroidery, and unique combinations of both of these. The
incorporation of beads and crystals adds even more dazzle to the
intricate designs. There are six projects, each explained with
detailed step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, with
design templates and a full stitch gallery providing everything
readers need to recreate them with ease. The projects comprise a
phoenix, rooster, common pheasant, mallard duck, flamingo and
golden pheasant. In addition to these sumptuous embroideries, Hazel
explains how to hand quilt the backgrounds and finish the edges
with binding to put them together in a 'rag book', as an
alternative to framing. For embroiderers looking for something
different and new to stitch, and for those keen to challenge
themselves with more complex embroidery techniques, this book is a
must-have.
