Read What Others Are Saying

The Nimue images are the "bridge" between reality and fantasy. This embroidery depicts a bird, "Martin-Fisherman" and then an animal that exists in nature, represented very realistically with its plumage of a beautiful color, but nonetheless real. Then combines this with a presence ... fairy, a girl, with transparent wings, the tiny size, (considering that the largest bird of her!) ... And behold, the image takes a meaning very different, we are in a world "that there '", everything you can imagine observing this embroidery ... you get into a fairy tale, where everything can be ... and so it can also happen to see a little fairy resting before continuing the journey with his strange companion. I love it, before embroidering will have to translate all the instructions from the French, the very large pattern, printed on colored paper biscuit (very nice, because it looks like an ancient map!), The yarns are DMC, which should be used to two wires, but in some points to one wire, and (if I have not read it wrong) in some places by pairing two threads of two different colors together. The ricamer on Aida 55 because I want to get a fairly large embroidery, and then cutting to the canvas in a circle, to frame it in a large round frame. It will be a masterpiece! Cinzia...

I stitched this design a couple of years ago. So much fun!

Easy to perform, with all the beauty of the Dimensions. The pale green Aida included in the kit enhances the color of yarn and a half point makes the 3D image. I'm really satisfied with the result! I know so much that I took a "crush" on the Dimensions seen this yet another that embroidery .....

I love this author and this spectacular embroidery! I started to be a bit 'of time, the port forward along with other embroidery and so I do not finish any time soon, but from what I've already embroidered can not say that the really good result. The border around a delicious frame formed by flowers, berries, ears that are followed by changing with the evolution of the seasons (in fact the subjects represented are to represent the four seasons with their fruits and their colors). I love it because it drew very well, as indeed all of Marjolein Bastin designs, of which I also have many books that contain his many watercolors, and many greeting cards, with its flowers, delicate and extraordinary. This embroidery not'm embroidering the fabric contained in the kit, but I replaced it with Aida, because I want to get a slightly lesser extent since I already a frame ready to use a measure precisely a little lower. The yarns are easy to use because they are already divided and marked with numbers corresponding to symbols written on the diagram sheet, and the very great scheme and easy to read. Highly recommended! The Marjolein Bastin creations very well represent the charm of nature! Cinzia...

The photographs always have a special charm, because they are our memory. Place them in the best way possible, but leaving "controlled" by their imagination called "scrapbooking"! This little book provides all the information to cut, paste, shape, decorate an album using diverse materials to each other. It 'just a funny book to read, but even more fun to try for example to cut the paper with a decorative scissors (those who do not have the straight blade, but shaped in various ways, and create bizarre undulations), or use transferable, pasting labels, theater tickets or cards, or use comic pages as the basis for the album to be built (which if you want you can also do it yourself with the cartonnage technique). All you can do, there are no rules ... even build, as suggested by the book, scrapbook pages with the same "ingredients", ie one o'clock with leftovers of the other and vice versa. Indeed all of advanced paper cutouts can be useful for a small decoration to another page. You do not waste anything! The tools to be used are different, listed in the book depending on what you want to accomplish. 'A book that is very close to everything that you learn in a commercial art school (design aesthetics of a page, the arrangement of the photos, the writings that recall the places and the protagonists, handwrite the verse of a poetry, colors to choose from and to combine to bring out the best pictures ... we must learn to "tell a story" ... and that memory will forever "stopped" on a page of your scrapbook!

Book that I bought almost 20 years ago, in a library of Lake Maggiore, in Turin because I could not find it (I was already demanding then, and Casa Cenina was not there yet to fulfill all my wishes ...). It 'a thick manual, with very detailed explanations with regard to the technique of cross-stitching and the materials to use. The schemes are many, simple or a little 'more elaborate: for children, floral, Greek, pillows, borders for the kitchen and even a nativity scene with embroidered and padded characters, a desktop photo-holder made with Aida embroidered and padded, with instructions for building it, cover-chair embroidered cloth to sew yourself. The peculiarity of this book to provide also the precious "alternatives" to the work presented: for example, for a square panel, embroidered with flowers, presented as suitable for manufacturing a pillow, the alternative is then suggested, that is, the ' idea to apply them (with a bit 'of glue and refining them with wooden slats to close the edges), the doors of an old cabinet; a border with Greek presented as reggi-tent has the alternative of turning into decorative band range for a lamp, or to sew as a border to renew all of the white curtains, or these borders can also become ... the tape that wraps a package gift, the embroidery render very valuable, and then also the former bow as a normal tape gift (and this idea I like very much, because the edges in etamine for sale the tape already risulter finished, perhaps with a golden scallop, or with the frame of a color to match the paper parcel, on which you can embroider all over, and once untied the parcel, who receives potr use it in any other way). At the bottom of the book all the schemes, black and white, with some alphabets. The books of Fabbri Editori are made very well, beautiful pictures of the work, detailed explanations. Cinzia...
