From Library Journal
Eddy's world is a magical place where creatures of the jungle, water, and forest come to life in the thread, yarn, and hand-dyed fabric employed by the artist to create the illusion of watery worlds and misty forests. This book is at once a gallery of Eddy's work and a "how-to" manual describing the techniques she uses for drawing, designing, and embroidering.
