Jane Nicholas has long been fascinated by beetles. This book features the beetle not only in stumpwork but in many other forms of embroidery: glittering goldwork, beaded beetles from mosaic buttons, redwork beetles and beetles in surface stitchery using lustrous silk and metallic threads.
 
Lavishly illustrated in colour, this book with detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by numerous explanatory diagrams is a fascinating addition to the working bookshelf of anyone interested in dimensional and textured embroidery.
