Silhouettes in Cross Stitch

More about the book

Although the art of cutting out paper profiles may have died out, cross stitch lends itself perfectly to the tradition of producing outlines in a single colour on a background of a contrasting colour. This book includes some charts for what may be regarded as "traditional" silhouettes - that is, profile portraits. The designs in this book include a wide range of motifs and illustrations, which can be used singly or combined with each other, to create some unusual and attractive projects.
