3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork by Melissa Galbraith

3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork introduces you to the world of textured embroidery that pops off the fabric! Embroidery artist Melissa Galbraith combines three techniques-stumpwork, Brazilian embroidery, and Indian Embroidery-to create beautiful works of three-dimensional art. Melissa also guides you through everything you need to get started, like tools, materials, how to start and end your stitches and even a stitch glossary that covers 52 hand embroidery stitches and techniques used throughout the book! 

Then, you'll dive into the beautiful decorative and wearable projects, like a Foxglove Pendant, a Carnivorous Plant Terrarium, Ginkgo Earrings, and so much more. She draws inspiration from poisonous, carnivorous, and medicinal plants-adding a tongue-in-cheek twist to a traditionally "delicate" hoby. The projects are labeled by skill level and provide information about the plants featured in each project. Whether you're a beginner or experienced embroidery artist, you'll build your skills and broaden your mind, one stitch at a time!
