British artist Nicol combines watercolor with embroidery techniques stitchery, stumpwork, needle lace, and trapunto to create unique embroidered pictures on silk. In Painting with Thread, she leads the reader through a workshop in designing embroidered pieces and mastering painting and embroidery techniques. Also included is a stitch library, demonstrating how each stitch might be used to obtain a desired effect in a thread painting, and a project section of 14 thread paintings with step-by-step instructions. This will appeal to intermediate and advanced embroiderers and is highly recommended for large public libraries and subject collections.
