The Art of Embroidered Butterflies

Breathtaking nature scenes are the specialty of world-renowned textile artist Jane E. Hall, and the butterflies that frequently inhabit her spectacular embroidery works are the focus of this exquisitely designed book. Close-ups of her three-dimensional renditions of the winged beauties are accompanied by notes on the materials used as well as the photographs, swatches, drawings, and paintings that inspired each piece. A profile of a professional artist at work, an exhibit of the art of embroidery, and a nature book all in one, this collection of needlecraft butterflies will inspire and motivate embroiderers to elevate their craft and nonembroiderers to appreciate the gorgeous spectacle of nature.
