Beginner's Guide to Traditional Japanese Embroidery by Julia D. Gray Pdf

For Julia Gray, silk is the finest of natural fibres and is full of life and shine. Embroidery on this beautiful fabric has been worked in many countries, but Julia finds the perfection aspired to in traditional Japanese embroidery a wonderful challenge. She learned in Japan by copying the work of a master, and found not only a way to stitch, but also a philosophy that allowed her to achieve balance and harmony in her everyday life. In this inspirational guide she shares her passion and in depth knowledge of the history and practice of this eastern art form. It covers everything from handling flat silk and twisting your own threads to working the different stitches and finishing off an embroidery. Japanese design is influenced by the four seasons, but traditional designs also use the colors and symbols associated with festivals—trees, dolls, fish, birds, and mythical figures. A series of simple step-by-step projects, which include the story behind each motif, help the reader to develop their techniques and learn about the symbolism of a great tradition.

Sashiko for Beginners by Kevin McClendon Pdf

Sashiko is a form of Japanese folk embroidery using a variation of a running stitch to create a patterned background.

Requiring few materials, Sashiko projects can go anywhere and have saved the sanity of many a soccer mom, public transportation commuter and world traveler. And it's nice to have a project at home that you can pick up and put away at a moment's notice. Catch your meditative moments when you can! While you can create large decorative pieces with Sashiko, settling in with projects that reflect Sashiko's roots in creating and repairing decorative objects seems natural.
