Summary:
Whimsical, beautiful embroidery motifs created by an avid gardener - stitch roses, bees, or whole
garden
scenes. Kazuko Aoki has a unique talent for translating the beauty of the
garden
with needle and thread. By offering forty motifs, Aoki invites us to explore her gardens
through
embroidery. The forty motifs explore the roses and wildflowers that appear season to season, as well as the bees and butterflies that enjoy their nectar. The designs here are exquisite, detailed, and artfullly rendered. Beyond the motifs themselves, Aoki also presents projects that feature the embroidery: brooches, notebook covers, pin cushions, and pouches. For those new to embroidery, detailed how-to illustrations are included. Kazuko Aoki is a Japanese textile artist. Her delicate pictures are inspired by her great love of nature and the flowers in her own
garden
, which often provide the starting point for her creative designs. Kazuko loves to combine other embroidery techniques with cross-stitch to introduce a beautiful and unexpected element in her designs and in the process create an original new style.
