Abstract

Popular illustrator Kurahashi's illustrations are now available as cross-stitches. The unique illustrations by Kurahashi include children, animals, cats with various expressions and seasonal children. As you stitch through the somewhat mysterious illustrations, a hidden story begins to emerge. The girls' fashion with just the right amount of sweetness is also noteworthy. The delicate finish is created by outlining with backstitch and other techniques on top of cross-stitch. You can enjoy the luxury of Kurahashi's illustrations, which have captured the hearts of many people, drawn with the soft texture of handwork and stitching. In addition, there are six works drawn especially for this book, including seasonal spring, summer, autumn and winter wreaths and animal samplers such as tigers and bears. The original drawings of all the works are also included, making this book a must-have for fans of Kurahashiroi's work. All using DMC embroidery threads.
