Embroidery from Sketch to Stitch

Embroidery from Sketch to Stitch is a richly satisfying exploration of the textural qualities of fabric and thread, paper, paint, crayons and dyes. They are interpreted here in evocative portraits of Australia's Flinders Ranges and Red Centre, gardens in New Zealand, fruits and flowers, and theatre and harbour scenes from Great Britain. The embroideries are accompanied by brief notes from the artist setting their mood. An unusual and special section at the end of the book outlines the techniques and processes employed in creating each work, together with notes which provide a fascinating insight into the world of the artist at work.
