Book Reviews of Color and Design for Embroidery

Book Review: Open your embroidery to new dimensions
Summary: 5 Stars

What a deceptive book this is! It is beautifully presented and one tends to think that it is merely another coffee-table book that can be flipped through whilst watching TV.

Not so: this is a very in-depth look at how to design your own embroideries. So in depth, in fact, that I am actually sitting down just to study it, with no distractions!

Richard Box has written a very informative book that looks at all aspects in design of embroidery and needlework, with both practical and observing exercises in each section.

At the end of the book, you will be able to confidently sit down and design an embroidery by yourself, and may be hooked on doing so.

The author puts his aims best himself in the Introduction when he says"

"Your exclaimation `I feel happer with a needle in my hand' may become `I now feel happy with a pencil in my hand too'."

The book is full of pictures of embroidery, and other textile arts, with a technical look at the elements of the design that they have in them.

Well done Richard, I say.
