In this embroidery guide, which blends Eastern and Western aesthetic tastes, author Chen Daiyu draws inspiration from the classic ancient Chinese poetry collection The Book of Songs. She combines crewel embroidery with enigmatic flora, trees, fish, insects, and birds, creating work that is both pure and romantic, while also being rich in imagination. With this book, you will:

Follow high-resolution images and detailed step-by-step instructions to practice crewel embroidery techniques. The difficulty level of the projects progresses gradually, and each one comes with a stitching plan and color plan manuscript, allowing you to gain a deep understanding of the author' s creative process.

Master basic knowledge about crewel embroidery, including its history, tools, materials, and stitching techniques. The book also includes pull-out pages at the end with complete line drawings for each project.

Skillfully combine different elements to create crewel embroidery pieces that resemble paintings, embellishing everyday items and making life more enriching and enjoyable.

Appreciate the unique appeal of Chinese aesthetic taste, and explore the author' s bold and individualistic designs.
