 Item #B01440 (Book) -- $26.00 Sold outCreative Needlepoint by Robert Capes |
| Inspirational ideas and techniques for creating original designs Robert Capes has a most original and creative approach to embroidering on canvas. Without technical expertise, but with a love of rich color and varied textures, he began making his unusual and colorful pieces, guided only by his flair and intuition. Creative Needlepoint traces his development as an artist in threads, from the first hesitant pieces produced from a kit to the glories of his later works. Foremost of these are his portrait of Dame Joan Sutherland that now hangs in the diva's house in Switzerland and his series of "Alice in Wonderland" pieces. In this book, Robert Capes shows how producing a work of art need not be limited to trained artists or to those who are experts in embroidery. Nor need stitching be confined to the conventional materials, but beads, metallic threads, even paints, can enhance needlepoint. Following his simple explanations of techniques and inspired by his enthusiasm, you too will be able to 'paint' three-dimensional pictures on canvas. 140 pages hardback. |
