THE ART OF ANNEMIEKE MEIN Wild Life Artist in Textiles Soft back book, 159 pages, by Annemieke Mein, published by Search Press. I love this book. The book features the work of Annemieke Mein who is a Dutch textile artist. Her work depicts scenes in nature from birds, butterflies, grass hoppers, dragonflies, frogs and more wonders of the world. She stitches her subjects in a mixture of hand and machine embroidery, dyeing, applique, trapunto, quilting, pleating, felting, beading, weaving and plying in often a 3-dimensional manner. This is a book to wonder at and admire and simply enjoy. BOOK COST (MBAAM) The Art of Annemieke Mein Book: $42.00 Canadian Dollars Quantity: View Cart View the   Shopping Cart for mailing costs.

EMBROIDERED FLORA & FAUNA THREE-DIMENSIONAL TEXTURED EMBROIDERY Soft back book, 160 pages, written by Lesley Turpin-Delport & Nikki Delport-Wepener and published by Search Press This book offers a fantastic array of plants, animals and insects worked in mixed media techniques such as ribbon work, applique, fabric manipulation, beading and stitching. For me this is a great book to look at even if you do not get around to working any of the projects (projects do require you to have some experience in the techniques listed above). I particularly like the textural owls and the nesting weaver.
