"Over 20 different contemporary embroideries to transfer and stitch, plus 11 extra transfer designs to get your creative juices flowing! With just a needle and selection of threads, you can gently create a stunning collection of stitcheries while relaxing after a long working day in the home or office. In Carina's latest book, she shows you how to 'doodle' embroider - lose yourself in your stitches and floss, and unconsciously form embroideries not only full of colour but your personality too. To help you start your journey to original, personal doodle work, Carina has shared a variety of designs, ranging from formal patterns - such as geometrics, mandalas, labyrinths and knots gardens - to more experimental, free-form shapes that will encourage you to explore your skills and creativity. These feature more abstract designs, maps and sketch-style scenes. Finally, Carina takes you step by step through her own creative process in her 'Garden' embroidery sample, to show you how to start, work and finish a design, so you can see how to forge a unique embroidery yourself"--Amazon.
