Embroidery and Animals
Messent, Jan

ISBN# 0-7134-4333-2
Good book for learning to take drawings of animals, identify which embroidery stitch will convey the essence, and determine the appropriate color combination. The concepts can be applied to historic style embroideries, but won’t help develop the ‘medieval eye’ the historic embroider needs. SB
