Stitched Jewels by Marthe Le Van

Today’s crafters love to work with fabric...and we love to accessorise with it. Stitched Jewels presents 25 exquisite projects incorporating cloth, textiles and other materials, all created by top designers. Because the craft involves such a wonderfully wide selection of techniques, these artists can all show off their diverse backgrounds: Ellen Gerritse constructs an ornate leaf neckpiece from bright mesh swatches, Deborah Boschert layers circles of cotton and fuses them over a leather cord and Bethany Fields shows off her theatrical training in a dramatic black and white gingham bracelet. They’re unique, beautiful and fun to make.
