Paint With Thread – In the Garden – Emillie Ferris
Step into an enchanting garden full of colour and detail with this stunning embroidery book by Emillie Ferris. In Paint With Thread – In the Garden, you will discover the art of thread painting, also known as needlepainting or silk shading, where you create lifelike embroidery using just a single stitch and one strand of thread.
Using the characteristic long and short stitch, you will learn step by step how to achieve painterly effects with needle and thread, similar to brushstrokes on canvas. This makes the book suitable for both beginners and more experienced embroiderers looking to refine their skills.
The book features nine exclusive patterns inspired by the beauty of the garden and Emillie’s love of nature. Think delicate flowers, graceful butterflies and beautiful birds, all rendered in exquisite detail in her distinctive style.
What you can expect:
• A clear, step-by-step introduction to embroidery techniques and materials
• Detailed explanations of stitches and skills, richly illustrated
• Nine unique designs inspired by flowers, birds and butterflies
• Practical iron-on transfers at the back of the book to get you started straight away
• Clear instructions for transferring the patterns onto fabric. Thanks to the iron-on transfer designs included at the back of the book, each design can be transferred up to ten times
Not only are the embroidery projects breathtaking, the book itself is a true work of art. With stunning photography, a luxurious hardback binding and refined gold foil detailing, this book is a real eye-catcher for any creative enthusiast.
An inspiring book for anyone who wants to learn how to “paint with thread” and immerse themselves in the calm and beauty of nature.
