Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781931499569.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor novices and seasoned needleworkers alike, this book guides crafters through the process of creating stunning works of art using a needle as a paintbrush and a vibrant collection of threads as a palette. Needleworkers are shown how to achieve the visual effects that combine the rich texture of tapestry with the dynamic color and composition of paintings. Step-by-step instructions for performing a simple satin stitch are provided, followed by advice for using hand drawings and a collage technique to develop ideas into finished embroidered pieces that retain the spontaneity of the original concepts. A gallery includes examples of portraits, creatures, landscapes, flowers, and abstract designs, all accompanied by line drawing patterns so needleworkers can try their hands at re-creating them as projects or samplers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Interweave Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45251877797941,"sku":"ByrdShop_193149956X","price":228.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931499569_8dd5ecd0-42b4-43fd-b48e-13ef2ad4dda6.jpg?v=1781353666","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/painting-with-stitches-creating-freestyle-embroidery-by-hand-9781931499569","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
