Description
Cosmos with Kim Sanders introduces students to needle painting, one of the most realistic forms of surface embroidery. Using a range of tints and shades of a hue, the embroiderer captures the play of light on the subject to give depth and dimension. With thread and a limited number of stitches the embroiderer will create a lifelike botanical. The text will lead you through the process in small, easy steps. Many tips are included to enhance your stitching and are applicable to future embroideries.
The 61-page text begins with history of the technique, and follows with detailed instructions, illustrations and stitch diagrams. Each motif is accompanied with an enlarged photograph allowing the student to see the position and angle of individual stitches. Students may choose between stranded silk or stranded cotton threads and silk or cotton ground fabrics.
