Book Description
Readers will learn to create breathtaking butterfly portraits by following the expert advice of internationally acclaimed designer Helen M. Stevens. In Embroidered Butterflies, Helen shares her secrets of how to achieve incredible effects in pure silk thread, through the use of:
* Thirty inspirational nature studies
* Five practical embroidery projects, including peacock, red admiral and purple emperor butterflies
* Comprehensive information and step-by-step color photographs
In five fascinating chapters, she explores a variety of butterflies united by a shared habitat. Each chapter culminates in a masterclass project: a color template is provided for five original designs from a simple study of brimstone and orange butterflies to capturing the more elaborate wing pattern of tortoiseshells. Easy to follow step-by-step photographs illustrate the working, in progress, of the designs to ensure that outstanding results are achievable.
