Inhaltsangabe

Mix threads just as a painter mixes paints, and your embroidery will shimmer and glitter, alive with color and sparkle. Simply take yarns of different colors and put them through the needle at once, and then overlay the work with gold thread. Be bold in your choices, blending complementary, or opposite, shades. You'll see how to do it, and how strong colors can work together when used in the right proportions. All the tools and techniques are carefully explained in detail, and dozens of novel, interesting stitches shown in color will entice you. See how shifting colors as you embroider changes the entire appearance of a canvas, and the different shapes from triangles to octagons you can make by how you place your stitches. Create designs inspired by tiles; golden grids; greeting cards; an embroidered desk set; a notebook cover; a frame; a clock, tray and mirror set, and so many other gorgeous decorative items. 176 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.
