Synopsis
This inspirational collection of Helen M. Stevens' work celebrates the diverse beauty of nature from around the globe, from the polar caps to the tropics through flora, fauna, birds and insects. Even fantasy worlds come vividly to life. Beautiful color photographs showcase Stevens' extraordinary talent, capturing everything from the iridescent glow of a hummingbird and the flash of a tiger's eye to the light glinting off of a sea otter's fur. Stevens' original workbook sketches, diagrams and detailed instructions appear for all stitches, combining modern materials with traditional techniques. It's all the inspiration stitchers need to create incredible works of embroidery art! Helen M. Stevens is a talented embroidery artist whose pictures are held in collections all over the world. She is the author of the Embroiderer's Country Album, the Embroiderer's Countryside, the Timeless Art of Embroidery, and the Myth & Magic of Embroidery. She is also a member of the Society of Women Artists, and in 1990 received a commission from the House of Commons; Stevens remains the only artist ever to have a textile piece become part of the Palace of Westminster collection. She lives in Suffolk, England., By drawing on inspiration from different countries and cultures around the world, Helen brings fresh vibrancy to her work. In Helen M Stevens' World of Embroidery she captures the diversity of nature from the polar caps to the tropics through flora, fauna, birds and insects. Beautiful colourful photographs highlight the skill that translates the iridescent glow of a hummingbird, the flash of a tiger's eye, the light as it glints on a sea otter's fur or reflects the movement of surrounding water. Helen shows how even fantasy worlds can come vividly to life by using the embroiderer's imagination and inspiration in exciting ways. Helen's own workbook sketches reveal a fascinating insight into how such ideas translate onto fabric and encourage the modern embroiderer to blend traditional techniques with modern high-tech materials, blending filaments and special effects as well as traditional fibres, real gold and silver, and materials gathered from nature itself.
