The Art of Embroidered Butterflies

Breathtaking nature scenes are the specialty of world-renowned textile artist Jane E. Hall, and the butterflies that frequently inhabit her spectacular embroidery works are the focus of this exquisitely designed book. Close-ups of her three-dimensional renditions of the winged beauties are accompanied by notes on the materials used as well as the photographs, swatches, drawings, and paintings that inspired each piece. A profile of a professional artist at work, an exhibit of the art of embroidery, and a nature book all in one, this collection of needlecraft butterflies will inspire and motivate embroiderers to elevate their craft and nonembroiderers to appreciate the gorgeous spectacle of nature.

Jane E. Hall is a professional textile artist whose work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, in magazines, and on TV. She has worked on significant commissions, three of which are on public display.
