Description

|
|
With beautiful embroideries inspired by the seasons of nature, this guide from an expert in Japanese handcrafts offers artists of all skill levels the opportunity to build their expertise with four detailed projects. Julia Gray graduated after nine years of study with Kurenai-kai, a nonprofit organization in Atlanta that teaches the art and techniques of Japanese embroidery, as well as traveling to Japan to study such allied crafts as sumi-e (ink painting), yuzen (silk painting), shibori (dyeing), and katazome (stenciling). Each project includes a template and clear, step-by-step photos showing how to stitch simple motifs modeled from traditional subjects (trees, flowers, shells, and butterflies) onto silk. The simplicity of the projects makes the guide accessible to beginners, while offering experienced embroiderers new techniques. "The perfect way for a student of this craft to watch a master at work and 'steal the knowledge'."—Sew Today
