The Magic of the Forest

in Cross Stitch and Watercolor

A best-selling artist and embroiderer presents her latest collection. Join Jan Woodman on a tour of her magic forest and witness the wonders of the plant kingdom through her paintings and cross stitch. From the delicacy of ground orchids to the bold bravado of waratahs you'll be fascinated by the colors, the shapes and the species the occur just beyond her very own backyard. There are also brilliant butterflies, frogs, birds galore and the sweetest forest creature of all, the sugar glider - a tiny wide-eyed pink-nosed possum. Projects suit all levels of experience. Wreaths, bouquets and even a coastal landscape are made for those who want something they can really sink a needle into, The small but spectacular designs will encourage and delight beginners. A brilliant artist with a botanist's eye for accuracy and detail, Jan Woodman's cross stitch designs start with life-size studies in pure watercolor. Easy-to-follow charts accompany each design and there is a comprehensive thread conversion guide at the back of the book. As each square of a chart represents a stitch, these designs can be easily worked in other techniques such as needlepoint, petitpoint, beading and rugmaking.
