Shisha is mirror glass, hand cut into small shapes that are attached to fabric by a frame of threads, a covering of sheer material, or other means. 19 fully illustrated original designs are included here, enabling you to use this lavish form of embellishment to create stunning effects on garments, accessories, cushions, table linens, and more. Detailed instructions for the techniques specific to sadi and shisha offer you the basis you need to create your own designs for these unique materials.
Stumpwork Dragonflies
by Jane Nicholas
The dragonfly's elegant and unique shape, fragile iridescent wings, mystical beadlike eyes, and shimmering colors have fascinated needleworkers for centuries--and no form of stitchery captures its textures, vivid pigments, and dimensionality better than stumpwork. These magnificent designs take their inspiration from embroidery done as far back as the 16th century and from throughout the world. Incorporating a variety of materials and techniques, each pattern builds works of mesmerizing beauty. Includes detailed sections on anatomy and a dazzling "specimen box" of dragonfly types.
