Description
Embark on a creative journey through East Asia with A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey. Joan Elliott combines her extensive craft knowledge with a deep appreciation for Asian aesthetics to produce a craft book that is as much a travelogue as it is a pattern guide. Each chapter focuses on a different East Asian culture, offering cross-stitch designs that draw inspiration from traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art and craft traditions.\n\nFrom intricate silk embroidery patterns to modern cross-stitch interpretations, Elliott provides detailed instructions and background on the cultural significance of each design. The book is perfect for cross-stitchers who enjoy learning about the stories behind their work, as well as for crafters interested in East Asian art and culture. Published by David & Charles, one of the leading craft publishers in the United States, this title is a valuable addition to any craft library.
