Empowered Embroidery: Transform sketches into embroidery patterns and stitch strong, iconic women from the past and present (3) (Art Makers)

This is a great celebration of inspiring women. The book contains a guide to basic stitches, and patterns and instructions for six portraits. Not all of the patterns are equally strong, though Frida Kahlo is lovely. It’s accessible enough for beginners, but for me the real value was in the vibrant design of the book and the infectious enthusiasm. The techniques could be used for any figure you have a sketch of. It gives you the confidence to do your own thing, and motivates you to experiment with creating artworks of your own heroines.I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
