Her materials are spangles, purls, kid, twist, and such traditional goldwork materials. The liberal use of color photos and line diagrams complements the text. The first 40 pages sets the stage. She starts with a bit of history, then discusses equipment: needles, frames, and fabrics, including details of framing up. She shows how to transfer a design using the prick and pounce method as well as tracing. This is intended for beginners and experienced embroiderers alike. The next section is 40 pages illustrating techniques: pearl purl, chipping, and so on. The final 60 pages provides some projects and details of how to make them. Each opens with a list of materials and techniques, with references to the pages on which they are discussed. This is a beautiful, inspiring book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
