Embroidery Book 2, 2022: Off the Page

By Laura Vivanco on
A white cover with black block capitals made from stuffed needlelace that raises all the letters high off the background.

The cover of Off the Page is sewn directly onto white felt (synthetic) with a black, very thin, knitting yarn that has sparkly bits. I used corded Brussels stitch and made the first word very padded so it would stand off the page.

I chose the title because all of the contents are stumpwork (i.e. embroidery which rises off the background) based on illustrations for (paper) books.
