Michelle Staub has done it again with an insanely useful book on how to make thread-painting embroidery portraits of all sorts of animals. I read her first book on how to stitch cats and dogs earlier this year—and have I actually tried a thread-painting pet portrait? Well, no. It's scary! But Staub's instructions and very practical advice in both books genuinely do inspire me and make me feel better about the prospect. I still have a dog portrait on my list, and I'd love to try a snake and a horse now too!

A perfectly-made compliment to her first book (Pet Portrait Embroidery: Lovingly Stitch Your Dog or Cat), Embroidered Animal Portraits takes you through new steps of pet portraiture - moving from fluff and fur to scales and feathers!
This book both informative and educational, along with being so beautiful in it's embroideries. I was so excited to pick this up! And eager to use what I've learned while reading.
