Tiny Friends: A Guide to Mosaic Embroidery
CHF 27.00
Tiny Friends: A Guide to Mosaic Embroidery is a book on making colourful toys using mosaic embroidery, a technique developed by the Japanese artist Tomomi Mimura. In this book, she introduces the reader to 13 animal characters.
In mosaic embroidery, you use simple darning techniques, scraps of yarn and freeform design to create the designs. Tomomi was inspired by the ceramic mosaics in Gaudi’s Park Güell in Barcelona, feeling drawn to mimic the effect using the darning stitches she had already mastered in mending. The naive style and simple execution of these designs add up to an irresistible invitation: you can do this! And look how adorable it will be!
Through detailed photography, illustrations and step-by-step instructions, Tomomi shows how to stitch and assemble whimsical stuffed toys and finger puppets. All you need to get started is an embroidery hoop and some fabric, yarn, a needle and a pair of scissors.
144 pages, softcover.
