(by Clare Hanham) "Silk" shading employs the long and short stitch to realistically depict the natural shading found in most objects - flowers, butterflies, birds, etc. While the title implies working with silk, all the designs in this book are actually stitched in cotton. Of course, the same techniques can be used with silk thread. Learn to transfer a design, frame up and then stitch. Clear step-by-step photos with detailed instructions.
