From self-portraits to cultural expression, and from stylized imagery to personal narratives, Kelly's work showcases the versatility of textile portraiture. Beautifully illustrated with examples of her own work and that of other textile artists, this book is an ideal resource for embroiderers and textile artists looking to expand their skills.
