This book focuses on using non-traditional techniques and materials in crewel or Jacobean embroidery. By showcasing four large projects, it shows needle workers how to be creative with threads, alternative stitches and beads. Traditional techniques are explained but are extended with the use of bead embroidery, needle lace techniques, and stitches not normally used in crewel work.

Every project is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and lots of photographs, and the completed embroideries are once again displayed in ways that are both decorative and functional in the home. Templates of the original designs complete this magnificent source for creative embroidery. Paperback • 160 pages • 260 x 193mm • 320 colour photographs Search Press • SE106 • £14.99

David Bellamy’s Winter landscapes in Watercolour David Bellamy explains the challenges and joys of capturing winter subjects, from how to do quick sketches in freezing temperatures to how to add warmth and vibrancy to snow scenes.

He has a particular liking for winter subjects, since the landscape at this time is not overwhelmed with green. Here he shares his expertise from how to do rapid outdoor sketches to capturing mist, late autumn

colours, bare tree trunks and various types of snow, through using rogue colours, making the most of low lighting. There are four sections: late autumn, winter, deep mid-winter and early spring, and four beautiful step-by-step projects.
