Inspirations - Embroidery Magazine from Australia, Issue #120, Celebrate 30 Years!
This is an Anniversary issue of the Inspirations Magazine, and, as usual, the issue is packed with the most beautiful projects in embroidery!
Inspirations Studios say about this issue:
"Description
To celebrate 30 years of Inspirations, we asked designers to create a project incorporating some favourite elements from their own embroidery journey.
The result? Exciting dimensional work, exquisite threadpainting, meticulous goldwork and contemporary needlelace, alongside a delightful array of embroidery stitches and beading techniques.
