Luminous Threads

Capturing the Elusive Magic of Color in Stitch
Transform your stitched creations by understanding how thread and color work together.
Transform your stitched creations by understanding how thread and color work together. Many embroidery lovers find that color works differently for stitching but can t pinpoint why. Encouraging and personal, Luminous Threads explains and illustrates color theory specifically for embroiderers. Explore color theory in stitching to confidently add, build, and transform color in your designs. Instead of simply choosing a floss color you ll learn to use a fascinating toolkit of elements, from mixing to saturation to shadows, to make your projects beautifully impactful. Embroidery artist, instructor, and researcher Katherine Diuguid decodes color frustrations and introduces readers to the thrills that color brings while helping us to develop confidence, freedom, and curiosity to expand our palette of threads. Use see-then-stitch examples to understand color in ways that don t feel overwhelming. Ensure your project s colors will match your vision with samplers that move color theory directly and enjoyably to your needle. The extensive collection of over 300 stitched examples offers long-term reference of how color behaves in stitch, saving thousands of hours of experimentation. Features exciting ways to absorb the science of color, such as Diuguid s color studies and interpretations in threads of masterworks by Monet, Van Gogh, and other painters.
