opaline 's review for:
This wasn't quite what I was expecting but that's not necessarily a bad thing. As well as being packed full of embroidery patterns for mystical items/symbols, it also talks a lot about the ritual of embroidery stitching, the power of symbols and creating your own talisman. There is also discussion on the use of mediation, stretching and more to help you in your creative process.
The book also includes instructions for those who have never embroidered before including clear diagrams on how to form the various stitches. And then there are a good number of projects with ideas for where to use embroidery, for example clothes, homeware and, jewellry. The symbols vary from geometric, to botantical to astrological and much more, definitely something for most people.
For me, I'm not really into the mystical acts side of things, but I still enjoyed this book due to it's wonderfully wide range of embroidery patterns, clear instructions and varied project ideas.
Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for this ARC copy in return for a nonbiased review.
