Review
This is a delightful book which will appeal to both embroiderers and artists. If you have ever wanted to create an embroidered work of art this is the book to inspire you, filled with beautiful colour photographs. The sixteen projects it contains are an invitation to have a go. In each chapter Jane shows how to enhance your work using fabric dyes, wire ribbons and chiffons. All the embroideries, presented with poetic introductions, are accompanied by helpful photos and notes in which the author explains the basic techniques, from first steps to the finished project. --West Country Embroiderers, Winter 07
Product Description
"Exciting", "exhilarating", "unbelievable" are words that capture the brilliance of Jane Hall's amazing embroideries. The sheer magic of her work is in its beauty and its awe-inspiring attention to detail. Stitched and woven in pure silk and gold threads on delicate fabrics, embellished with fragments of shell, irridescent feathers and semi-precious stones, her work takes on a quality that is both startling and memorable. Flowers, leaves, grasses, toadstools, butterflies and bugs are translated into three dimensional scenes and panels, born of a love of nature and an intuitive understanding of the natural world. Jane works almost entirely by hand, evolving each piece, adapting ideas and changing the image as it naturally develops. This book explores Jane's extraordinary world, the materials she uses, her techniques, and her understanding and interpretation of nature. Packed with ideas, inspiration and information, it will appeal to all embroiderers and textile artists everywhere.
