It wasn't the bakery sign.
It wasn't the citrus fruits,
or even the acorns
or the green pepper.
It wasn't the hens,
the hotdog,
or the lion.
The piggy got close.
Real close.
This button scored pretty high, too.
The fish almost did it all by itself.
But even if there had been nothing else to like
in all of the other
126 pages…
this feather alone
would have been reason enough to buy this delightful embroidery book.

Amazing! My favourite is the fish... or the feather.

i love Japanese craft books! I have two but fear I cannot figure out the markings - but seeing this makes me want to rethink buying more ;-)

Those really are breathtaking. And just think, once you've mastered that feather, well, there's a whole world of bird feathers waiting to be copied (I'm crocheting a scarf from Lang Mille Colori at the moment, and the colour reminds me of kingfisher and jay feathers)
