Four beautiful paintings turned into embroidery masterpieces by ribbon and thread artist Di Van Niekerk. this book explains how designs printed on fabric are enhanced with creative embroidery techniques using ribbon and thread:
*a wide variety of surface stitches
*trapunto
*needlelace
*padded shapes
*tassel-making
*wired and detached shapes
*new ideas for flowers, grass and interesting trees and much more!
I recommend you visit Di Van Niekerk's site! It is a beautiful site, where she sells kits, patterns, instruction videos, and even has video instructions and previews of her books available on the site. I have emailed her to see if we can carry some of the panels here at ESD, and will keep you posted on how that turns out! Visit: http://www.dicraft.co.za
