Beskrivning
Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, any stitching project, no matter how simple, can be enhanced by a well-chosen colour palette, however, many people are nervous or even scared of colour. Textile designer Karen Barbe regularly teaches embroidery workshops and knows first-hand the fears and frustrations of beginners - as well as accomplished crafters - when starting a new project. Karen makes choosing and creating colour palettes a fun and enjoyable part of the design process.Colour Confident Stitching is divided into three parts: Understanding Colour; Feeling Colour and Stitching with Colour. The first two sections guide the reader through colour theory as well as choosing and using colour more instinctively. Stitching with Colour includes five stiching projects that will encourage the reader to explore colour and build confidence through exercise and experiment. All colours are referenced to DMC floss colours.Inspirational photographs are accompanied by stitching illustrations and step-by-step photographs for the colour choosing process as well as stitching projects.

    Broderar man och letar efter information om färglära kan jag starkt rekommendera denna. Författaren använder sig mest av märket DMC men samma principer kan appliceras till andra. Hon tar upp grunden i färglära så det krävs inga speciella förkunskaper men det är inriktat på broderi så mycket som skulle tas med i en vanlig bok tex att blanda färger osv finns inte med. En bra bok med många fina bilder, exempel och tips som var mer än välkommen i min bokhylla.
