Jan Messent's World of Embroidery
Once basic techniques are mastered, there remains the dilemma of where to find ideas for new, unique embroideries. Messent here answers that question, discussing the different sources of design ideas, including word associations, color, symbols, music, and the human form. She illustrates her ideas with her own drawings and embroideries and those of other embroidery artists from around the world. Fiber artists will refer to this book again and again for inspiration. Highly recommended.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
