The step by step directions given to achieve learning and making many of the techniques in this book are clearly written and well supported with photogrpahs of each piece of embroidery.

Modern Art,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bead Embroidery (Paperback)
This book is very much geared towards modern art. While the materials listing is comprehensive (i.e. defining the materials that you might use to embroider), and the how-to diagrams seem to be good (I already knew how to embroider, so I didn't need help there), this book is completely geared to modern-art creations. Which didn't help me at all, seeing how I do medieval bead embroidery. I think there was one picture of a Victorian embroidery and that was it.
Also, it didn't have patterns to follow. It's pretty much nothing more than a modern-art idea book.
