31 color plates are included. Very abstract like the cover.
I absolutely the turtle! There is a stitched turtle in the book but not this one. But, it doesn’t look like bargello. The book takes an odd turn. I wonder if Gigs knew about Zentangle because the designs towards the end of the book remind of that style. These seem easily adaptable to embroidery but would work on Congress Cloth because of the extra details you can do as opposed to 18 count monocanvas.
Thank you!! This book in particular looks so interesting. Someone recently posted the most beautiful free form interpretation of a geode that has fascinated me. It was part bargello and part just long/short stitches. This book might actually help in replicating that!!
