Japanese designer Yumiko Higuchi presents embroidery motifs to be stitched in just one or two colours—creating patterns and designs that are more evocative for their form than for a play of colours. The designs are an elegant blend of Japanese and Scandinavian style. With beautiful photographs, clear step by step instructions and detailed diagrams these projects will inspire and guide beginners and experienced stitchers alike.
The motifs and patterns here are spare and graphic, yet softened with organic shapes and imagery drawn from nature. The result is embroidery that evokes a personal feel and conjures a sense of nostalgia and longing.
What is further appealing is the seeming simplicity in recreating these designs: by creating designs that use either one colour or two colours the work here feels very approachable and appropriate for beginner stitchers.
