Part of the "Milner Craft Series", dedicated needlecrafts just won't find an embroidery book like Jane Nicholas' Stumpwork, Goldwork & Surface Embroidery Beetle Collection on any sewer's shelf: it is a unique guide sharing Jane Nicholas' method of using threads, fabrics and--yes--beetle wings to create lovely designs and projects in different embroidery forms. As scientifically accurate as it is creatively packaged, Embroidery Beetle Collection provides a large color photo of the beetle, scientific identifiers including order, suborder and family, and specific step-by-step instructions for reproducing it. An extraordinary, unique guide.
