The “Guild of embroiderers”, founded in 1906 in the UK, collected an impressive collection of embroideries: more than 6,000 beautiful works from around the world, performed in different styles and techniques. The author of the book, Annette Collinj, the textile artist and the leader of one of the guild branches, prepared a real exhibition from the best samples of the collection, united by a common topic: birds. She fascinatingly talks about each exhibit, whether it is a tapestry decorated with mirrored glasses, Coptic fabrics, a border of a Greek skirt with a two -headed eagle, a Christmas postcard from the First World War, Chinese cuffs with roosters or a heating pad on a kettle of the 20th century. You can admire work from all over the world: from Scandinavia and China, from Greece and India, from Hungary and Egypt ... Gorgeous color photos will allow you to consider all samples in detail, and detailed descriptions will introduce you to the amazing history of embroidery and inspire you to create your own masterpieces
