LifeLike images

A great book for Cross stitchers. Many images reflecting a real life image of several animals, including the walking tiger as on the cover, elephant, zebra, ducks and other birds and some smaller animals as well. Different designs in various sizes make for a well balanced book for projects

Very detailed depictions of animals

This book has some really beautiful projects, with very realistic and detailed portraits of many different kinds of animals. Projects in particular that appealed to me were the first project, which was a reproduction of a cave painting, and the gibbon hanging from a tree.There are very detailed charts, with DMC color suggestions, and beautiful color photographs for inspiration. There are also many ideas for how to finish the projects and make them into lovely gifts.I thought this was a wonderful book, one I would highly recommend to any needleworker who loves animals!
