Helen M. Stevens' Embroidered Animals by Helen M Stevens

In this fourth title in her Masterclass Embroidery series, Helen M. Stevens reveals more of the secrets of achieving astonishlingly lifelike effects using pure silk thread. In five fascinating chapters Helen explores a variety of animals that are linked in different ways - whether by their ferocity as predators, their closeness to man as familiar countryside dwellers or as among the world's weirder creatures like the platypus. Each chapter leads towards a master class project with colour templates. Easy to follow colour photographs illustrate the working stages of the design to ensure that perfect results are achieved.
