Dive into the charming world of Tiny Friends: A Guide to Mosaic Embroidery, where colorful critters come to life with a sprinkle of yarn magic and a dash of creativity! Created by the imaginative Japanese artist Tomomi Mimura, this delightful book is your ticket to crafting an adorable menagerie of 13 whimsical animal characters (5 finger puppets and 8 stuffed toys).
Mosaic embroidery, Tomomi's treasured technique, involves the simplest of stitches and a few basic tools: an embroidery hoop, fabric, yarn, a needle, and scissors. It's the perfect way to use up those tiny yarn scraps you’ve been saving for a special project. Imagine creating a flock of sheep that could fit in the palm of your hand, a tiger smaller than a teacup, or a mini kangaroo with an even tinier baby, all brought to life in a delightful patchwork of colors!
With the help of stunning photographs, playful illustrations, and easy-to-follow instructions, Tomomi will guide you through the enchanting process of stitching and assembling cuddly stuffed toys and finger puppets that are sure to bring smiles and spark joy.
