Crewel Birds Jacobean embroidery takes flight Hazel Blomkamp (17 February 2020)
The fourth title in Hazel Blomkamp's series on crewel
embroidery with a twist, with six flamboyant farm and game birds to stitch. In this
fourth title in Hazel Blomkamp's series on crewel embroidery with a twist, the focus
is on farm and game birds. The birds give a nod to current trends, most notably the
Zentangle look with crewel-style filling-in stitches and techniques. Crewel Birds
is a celebration of Hazel's signature techniques: a wide variety of surface/crewel
stitches, some of which are brand new and many with a different take or different
ways of combining stitches to make them more interesting. Also included are needle
lace techniques used as embroidery stitches, loom weaving techniques modified for
embroidery, and unique combinations of both of these. The incorporation of beads
and crystals adds even more dazzle to the intricate designs. There are six projects,
each explained with detailed step-by-step instructions and clear photographs, with
design templates and a full stitch gallery providing everything readers need to
recreate them with ease. The projects comprise a phoenix, rooster, common pheasant,
mallard duck, flamingo and golden pheasant. In addition to these sumptuous embroideries,
Hazel explains how to hand quilt the backgrounds and finish the edges with binding
to put them together in a rag book’, as an alternative to framing. For embroiderers
looking for something different and new to stitch, and for those keen to challenge
themselves with more complex embroidery techniques, this book is a must-have.
