Description

Six sumptuous crewel birds to stitch in popular author Hazel Blomkamp's signature style. This latest title from National Geographic Books showcases six projects, each explained with detailed step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, featuring a phoenix, rooster, common pheasant, mallard duck, flamingo, and golden pheasant. Crewel Birds combines traditional crewel embroidery techniques with modern twists, including Zentangle-inspired filling-in stitches and the incorporation of beads and crystals. The book also explores needle lace techniques, loom weaving modified for embroidery, and unique combinations of both. With a wide variety of surface/crewel stitches, detailed instructions, and design templates, this book is perfect for embroiderers looking to challenge themselves with new techniques. For those who want to add an extra layer to their finished pieces, Hazel also explains how to hand quilt the backgrounds and finish the edges with binding to create a unique 'rag book' effect.
