Synopsis

Collecting butterflies and moths for specimen boxes and framed displays was a popular 19th-century pastime, and this book draws on that visual tradition with a stitched “specimen box” of moths and butterflies. It is the third in Nicholas’s series of stumpwork insect boxes, following the projects featured in Stumpwork Dragonflies (2000) and The Stumpwork, Goldwork and Surface Embroidery Beetle Collection (2004).

Detailed step-by-step instructions are supported by explanatory diagrams, alongside beautifully photographed pieces and inspirational images throughout. A considered choice for anyone interested in textured and dimensional embroidery.
