About this product
Product Information
Landscape is a fruitful source of inspiration for embroidery, but the enormous range of possibilities sometimes make it difficult to decide on a subject. Verina Warren is well-known for her own landscapes designs and in this book she offers practical approaches to design to help the reader achieve effective results. The first chapter suggests ways of finding a suitable subject for the design, using both sketching and photography. The author goes on to demonstrate how to translate the subject into embroidery, with advice on technical points such as perspective, horizon lines and focal points. A chapter on colour shows its importance in creating atmosphere and seasonal effects. Techniques are also covered, in particular machine embroidery and spraying and painting backgrounds, as well as mounting and finishing. Finally the author explains the stages of one of her own embroidered landscapes with details of every step from the first sketches through to the finished work. Verina Warren's work is exhibited as museums around the world.Product Identifiers

Old but still Relevant- Great for Design work
It might be old, over 30 years old, but the content is just as relevant today. From a design point of view, this is a good reference book for anyone to own, whether they are into needle work or painting or even photography. Don't let the age of a book put you off, focus on it's content! Yes, it would have been nicer with more colour photos which would obviously, with the advent of Digital photography, be much better if produced today, this is still a very worthwhile book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
