Boek: Embroidery Designs from the Sea

“The sea and the sea shore have always been a rich source of inspiration for craftsen, whatever the medium in which they work.
Here, Barbara Snook presents a portfolio of interpretive sketches and designs inspired by the sea especially for the embroiderer to follow and adapt. Advances in photography have meant that many more people can now study the shapes and intricacies of much marine life, but Barbara Snook goes further in that she provides guidance specifically to transfer such forms to an embroidered work. She presents a cross-section of marine life from the seas and shores of Great Britain, the United States and Australia and New Zealand. In so doing she has produced a book both inspirational and informative.” (overgenomen van de achterkant van het boek)
