"the art of embroidery"

A plain cover belies the treasures contained within the book "the art of embroidery: inspirational stitches, textures and surfaces" by Francoise tellier-loumagne. Embroidery like none you have ever seen, created from images found in nature, is shown within the pages of this wondrous book.

Abstract and modern applications, brought to life with 500 marvelous photographs, make me excited to resume my embroidery projects from a whole new perspective.

I shall start with teasel pompoms.
