AlbakiReads Editorial Drawing and color theory translated into stitch
Drawing and color theory translated into stitch
Susan Brandeis approaches embroidery as a visual language, using thread to work with line, shape, color, texture, and composition. The book connects methods associated with drawing and painting to stitched work, covering pictorial, portrait, abstract, and text-based directions. More than 350 color photographs support the instruction, while “Try This!” projects provide structured prompts for putting the ideas into practice. Machine stitching is included alongside the broader design discussion, making this both a technique guide and a reference for developing intentional choices in textile work.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Embroiders who want to explore composition, color, and image-making with thread
- Textile artists interested in both hand and machine stitching
- Beginning through professional-level practitioners seeking project prompts and visual references
