Richard Box’s Flowers for Embroidery: A Step-By-Step Approach

Richard Box paints directly from nature, taking photographs to act as aide-memories and then using collage and hand and machine embroidery techniques.

Here he invites all embroiderers, including beginners, to create a collection of flower embroideries featuring roses, honeysuckle, poppies, delphiniums, hedgerow flowers and other favourites. The reader is taken through the various techniques step by step, with colour photographs illustrating the different stages.
