With this book, you can bring the spirit of the Orient to your cross stitch! It presents an elegant collection of designs influenced by the art, textiles and cultural traditions of the Far East, skilfully translated into cross stitch. It contains exquisitely designed pictures, cards, gifts and home accents which use colours and materials that evoke the sumptuous finish of Eastern dress and interiors. The easy-to-follow making-up and stitch instructions ensure the projects can be completed with zen-like calm and serenity.
