Painting with a needle

In this illustrated volume, master embroiderer Young Yang Chung shows readers how to "paint with a needle" - embroidering in silk using centuries-old East Asian techniques and traditions. Chung provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for 19 original projects - ranging from wall hangings to a cell-phone case - that are suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced. Chung takes readers on a journey through time as she places silk embroidery in an East Asian historical and sociological context.
