ISBN: 9781782217770
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

Embroider 6 beautiful and inspirational Jacobean projects using varied techniques and gorgeous materials.

"Crewel Twists is a beautiful book of beautiful stitchery! I thought it was fun to read, I think the projects are really interesting twists on Jacobean designs, I like the fresh look of the projects and the incorporation of beads and multiple types of stitching that help make the projects fun and challenging, without being daunting." Mary Corbet, Needle 'n Thread
Whether you refer to it as crewel or Jacobean, this free form of surface embroidery has been around for centuries and is very popular among needle artists today. Because of the nature of the fanciful objects and the tradition of using a large variety of stitches in one project, it lends itself to endless creative expression. Renowned embroiderer Hazel Blomkamp uses a wide selection of materials to update techniques and inspire embroiderers to explore, while working loosely within the confines of crewel work styles. She shows needle artists how to be creative with fabric, threads, beads and alternative stitches, borrowing techniques from other forms of needlework, and still producing work that is typical of the crewel or Jacobean style of embroidery. The original designs include: • items using beads and metal threads to add sparkle and texture
• monochrome embroidery making use of a variety of threads and beads
• techniques employed in needle-made laces combined with traditional crewel stitches
• more traditional embroidery including shading, satin stitch and trellis couching to create texture.
