Making cute animal brooches with bullion stitch (a coil-like stitch) and beads.

We will create cute animals using bullion stitch (a coil-like stitch where thread is wrapped around the needle) and beads. Because the stitch has a three-dimensional effect, stitching it onto organza creates a sturdy accessory. You can turn the same motif into your preferred accessory using brooch pins, necklace chains, earrings, or ring parts. The thread used is the most popular No. 25 embroidery thread. Since it is a thread found in every craft store, you can start easily. Motifs include pandas, squirrels, rabbits, owls, butterflies, crocodiles, penguins, cats, and dogs. The author, Yuki Takeda, graduated from the Musashino Art University Department of Oil Painting and is active as an embroidery artist. She continues to create in the nature-rich mountains of Nagano. The book is B5 size, 96 pages, and priced at 1,980 yen.
