Craft Book Reviews - Beginner’s Guide to Silk Ribbon Embroidery
Beginner’s Guide to Silk Ribbon Embroidery
By Ann Cox
This is a great introductory book to silk ribbon embroidery. Covering essential tools and materials, Ann Cox takes us through easy to follow stitch techniques and shows us a myriad of individual plants, flowers and other objects we can create from them. Each stitch is fully explained and illustrated with step by step pictures, so even a true beginner can recreate (although some with a little practise!) any of the stitches with ease. The reader is also shown how to plan, create and mount larger artworks and there is a range of six equally stunning projects to follow.
This was a new craft for me and so I was thrilled at how simple this book made those first tentative steps into silk ribbon embroidery and also at just how many ideas I came away with. I would certainly recommend the ‘Beginner’s Guide to Silk Ribbon Embroidery’ to fellow embroiderers and textile artists.
