Transform nature observations into textured embroidery art
Stem stitch for plant stalks, French knots for texture, satin stitch for leaves. From there, Hultin introduces experimental techniques that expand what embroidery can be.
You'll learn to paint directly on fabric with watercolors before stitching, creating atmospheric backgrounds that thread work enhances. Fabric collage builds dimensional depth, layering materials to suggest distance and perspective. Raw wool adds organic texture that mimics natural forms. These aren't random mixed-media additions, each technique serves compositional purpose, helping you construct scenes that capture how landscapes actually feel.
Step-by-step projects guide you through flowers, plants, and trees, but the real value lies in learning to compose original scenes from your own nature sketches and photographs. Hultin's hardcover format preserves detailed photography across 212 pages, essential for understanding how materials and stitches combine. This book suits embroiderers ready to move beyond pattern-following into creating personal landscape interpretations grounded in direct observation.
