Lavish STUMPWORK MEDIEVAL FLORA-Jane Nicholas Hardcover

 

~ STUMPWORK MEDIEVAL FLORA ~
by Jane Nicholas

This is a stunning new book from Jane Nicholas who has written a number of other lavish stumpwork titles. The embroideries in this beautifully illustrated volume were inspired in particular by the decorative panels and borders in the illuminated Book of Hours created by Jean Bourdichon for Anne of Brittany, early in the sixteenth century. She has chosen eight flowers and interpreted them here in stumpwork embroidery. Five are worked as botanical specimens, their latin names stitched below them, while the other three, equally botanically correct, are presented as illuminated panels with richly coloured borders embellished with gold thread and beads. Each piece includes a 'surprise' in the form of an insect (or two), faithfully interpreted in fabric, wire, beads and thread. The requirements and instructions for each project are given in detail, along with tracing patterns and explanatory diagrams. The contents are:
