Description: A stunning high - level embroidery book on birds by Judy Wilford one the world's leading embroiderers. This stunning new title from master embroiderer Judy Wilford explores her fascination with birds and the ways they interact with their surroundings. Through research she turned her collection of rough sketches and notes into drawings and finally the beautiful embroideries featured in the book. This sumptuous book is divided into three parts working through the simplest to the more intricate or complicated forms of the subject. Each piece of work is divided into two areas and includes those elements applied to the rigid frame to form the background or 'on - framework' and those stitched 'off - frame on a hoop and applied later. Part 1 covers the basic requirements of what you need including design requirements embroidery materials - fabrics needles and threads - equipment rigid frames and your workspace. It also includes a section on research and choosing a suitable bird and its habitat concluding with a project that guides the reader through the entire process from inspiration through to working design giving all the skills and techniques needed to complete a hand - stitched low - relief panel based on birds and habitats. Part 2 explores processes and techniques used in designing and working more complicated elements. This project includes elements embroidered 'off - frame and applied to the work such as tree trunks branches birds nests and of course the birds. Part 3 includes further examples of the author's embroideries and drawn designs that could be used in future works. This section also includes information on finishing the work (mounting and framing) a stitch glossary reference section and acknowledgements. Though Judy's focus is on Australian birds the embroideries themselves will appeal to an international audience and the processes and techniques she uses can be adapted and used by textile artists and embroiderers for a broad range of subjects.
