Description

The world is three-dimensional—why not embroidery? Creating three-dimensional embroidery for use on clothing and as unique accessories, or simply as stunning artwork, has become one of the hottest trends in the textile arts. The complete design and construction process is detailed here—from the initial drawing board sketch to the finished bags, boxes, or other artwork—with all the various stitches and steps illustrated in 90 color photographs. The instructions cover everything from the basics of creating raised geometric shapes to advanced freeform work and tucking, folding and coiling fabric to adding beads and other personalized touches, as well as multiple joinery techniques and a range of clever finishing methods.

Library Journal Review

Edmonds (The Beginner's Guide to Embroidered Boxes) expands the concept of three-dimensional embroidery to include boxes, cylinders, vessels, and free-form constructions. Lavishly illustrated with drawings, photographs, models, and finished pieces, her book covers the design process from the thinking stage to the finished work. It addresses recommended materials and equipment, designing three-dimensional works from flat pieces by coiling or manipulating fabric, making and using beads, and finishing techniques for three-dimensional textiles. The first to cover this subject in detail, this book is highly recommended for academic and large public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010.
