Make Your Embroidery Pop with 3-D Techniques"A well-written book that will continue to expand embroidery collections and encourage creativity along the way." -Sarah Sieg, Library Journal
#1 New Release in Embroidery
Follow author and needlework artist Rachael Dobbins as she teaches you how to embroider flowers, portraits, and other 3-D patterns that make your art pop-literally. Using a combination of traditional and unconventional stitching and macrame techniques, Modern Embroidery takes traditional embroidery design to the next level while truly encouraging readers to think outside the box.
How to embroider flowers, portraits, and more-like an artist. Embroidery doesn't have to be flat or about perfection. It can be interpretive, with innovative textures, unconventional color gradients, and movement throughout. In Modern Embroidery, Rachel goes back to basics in order to push the boundaries of traditional needlework. Designed to take you from beginner to intermediate artist, this inspired guide contains new techniques and twenty jaw-dropping embroidery patterns.
Textured hand embroidery made easy. An embroidery book like no other, Modern Embroidery makes a unique craft gift or coffee table accessory for anyone passionate about art in new mediums. In addition to beautiful patterns, you'll discover how to start embroidery projects and how to apply the same techniques to home decor, clothing items, and much more.
Inside Modern Embroidery, find step by step embroidery instructions, as well as advice on:
How to turn photographs or sceneries into embroidery templates
How to create depth and movement
How to use color palettes to think outside the box
