Artist and embroiderer Elian McCready has been one of the best-selling designers for Ehrman Tapestry for years, and this book includes work that has previously only been available in kit form, as well as six new creations. Elian's work is theatrical and larger than life, but her skill is to create highly coloured yet subtle results. The projects are worked in tent stitch and long stitch, and superb colour charts and photographs make the instructions easy to follow. Materials for each project are listed and there is advice on stitching and making up.
About the Author: Elian McCready is an artist working in textile embroidery. After gaining a BA in Fine Art and Photography, she discovered the medium of pictorial woven tapestry. After a period working for Kaffe Fasset, Elian became self-employed and since 1991 has designed needlepoint kits for the renowned Ehrman Tapestry company, establishing herself as one of their leading designers. Elian lives in Conwy, North Wales.
