"Renowned textile artist Meredith Woolnough creates replicas of nature using a delicate system of tiny stitches. Her artwork is breathtaking,and now for the first time Woolnough offers crafters and fiber artists a lesson in how to use the "organic embroidery" technique. Look behind the scenes of her art process, from the initial fieldwork sketching and research that inspires her designs, to the production of her ethereal embroidered sculptures. She guides you through 12 creativity-prompting activities to help you begin your own mastery of this method. As you learn to find your desired shape or pattern in nature, from sources like leaves, shells, or coral, then use your sewing machine to turn bits into exquisite art. You'll also enjoy dozens of inspirational photos of Woolnough's own art pieces. Woolnough's instructions offer simple but highly versatile techniques, and allow you space for your own creative approach"--Amazon.com.

Machine Embroidery Art submitted by howarde on August 24, 2020, 3:33pm Meredith Woolnough creates intricate, delicate works of art using embroidery inspired by patterns in nature. This book explores her artistic process and shows how you can use her method at home as well. I got this book expecting it to be about hand embroidery and it is not—so those of us hand embroiderers inspired by Woolnough's art will need to create our own designs.
