Colour Confidence in Embroidery Trish Burr - Silk Shading

New book from Trish Burr Colour Confidence in Embroidery silk shading colour for all types of embroidery.

Colour Confidence in Embroidery the new book from Trish Burr is here! 

It will be a valuable resource for any embroiderer. Although based on long and short stitch shading the principles could be applied to any surface or counted thread embroidery.

What's in the book Materials and preparation, Shading techniques, Tools for selecting colours, How colour affects our embroidery, What brings our embroidery to life?, Colour combinations, Complementary colours, Colour schemes.

Each aspect is clearly illustrated by example and includes tools for selecting colours, choosing shades that enhance our embroidery, why some shades blend better than others, and the importance of contrast with light and shadow.

There are projects to represent each colour group including stunning roses, camellias, fruit and the much sought-after bee-eater birds, but the highlights of the book for any stitcher have to be the chapters on colour combinations and complementary colours.

There are more than 200 stitched examples with DMC thread keys, plus schemes to help choose colours for your own projects.
