Title: Inspirational
Review: When I heard Gary Clarke was publishing a book, I expected it would be good and I was certainly not disappointed. What an inspirational embroiderer he is! With wonderful designs using simple stitches on transparent organza stretched over a frame, Gary creates the illusion of floating embroidery. His incorporation of found objects means my own interpretaion of his projects is unique. The twenty projects are beautifully illustrated and provide a wide variety to choose from. I can't decide which is my favourite project - the seahorse, the passion flower, the Japanese blossom, the sweet peas, the lily, and on it goes. The step-by-step instructions for the backgrounds and design outlines help make this one of the best embroidery books around.
