Summary: Be Inspired by your Garden
Review: Plants and gardens have long been a source of inspiration for embroiderers, and for a blackthumb like me, embroideries of plants is about the only way I can guarantee to have them always.In this book, Thomasina Beck has managed to combine the two, with pictures of embroideries set in, of, and inspired by gardens. The book is well set out, and takes you through all the steps necessary to design your own garden-inspired embroidery, right down to discussing different techniques to portray folage and flowers. The techniques used to portray the various pieces pictured are varied, and I guarantee that every embroiderer will find some way to use her favorite technique.
