About this title

Synopsis

Helen Eriksson's silk ribbon embroidery uses delicate silk ribbons and velvets to create work so "real" that many people mistake her flowers for the living thing. In this handbook, she has created flowers and plants to make silk ribbon "pictures". She has also developed stitches and techniques to give the most three-dimensional quality to her work. Projects in the book include framed artworks, decorator items and practical pieces and each project is photographed in a setting and in a close-up. It is described in detail, with lists of requirements for silks, specific colours used, as well as threads and fabrics. There is a drawing of each design and careful step-by-step instructions. The stitch glossary at the back of the book reveals the author's secrets and the techniques which she has developed.
