A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey by Joan Elliott
American artist Joan Elliot has found inspiration in the colours and serenity of the Far East. Her wonderful designs have been skillfully adapted for cross stitching by American kit company Design Works Crafts. While some of the featured designs are already available as kits, many are exclusive to this book. Three of the most beautiful designs portray women in kimonos Grace, Beauty and Wisdom - echoing the art of the Japanese print. While these may offer a challenge to the more experienced stitcher, there are plenty of smaller designs from which to choose. The beautifully finished projects include a greetings card collection, pot lids, towel borders, scented sachet, a pillow, drawstring bag, and a silk-backed wall hanging.
Joan Elliot has been creating needlework designs for over 30 years. An accomplished artist and weaver, her knowledge of colour and skills in fibre art shine through. Joan is one of the key designers for Design Works Crafts, the very successful cross stitch company based in Bohemia, New York. She works closely with Susan Knopp, the company's owner; to develop her designs into cross stitch charts. Joan Elliot lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
