Make Your Own Graphic Art Needlework
by Helen McCarthy
Manga Cross-Stitch: Make Your Own Graphic Art Needlework is a bold, new,
contemporary approach to the time-honored skills of needlework. Readers and
cross-stitchers get a new twist on the old craft as they learn how to use
the tricks of Japanese graphic art mixed with the skills of traditional
needlecraft to make cute, action-packed, stylish images. The book includes
easy, step-by-step instructions for cross-stitch beginners and insightful
information for manga novices. Materials, techniques, and skills are clearly
explained and help simplify the art form. Patterns include "school's out,"
"super robo," "happy birthday manga," and many other cute and chibi
characters. Also included is a CD with hundreds of unique manga designs. On
the CD are charts for printing out and stitching. Plus, the software
included lets artists create their own personalized manga designs by
creating their own color palettes.
This isn't your grandma's needlework.
