Jann Messent is a master with a needle. (Way outside the box of traditional embroidery, while still honoring it.)
This book is especially resourceful because includes many very accessible methods of encouraging one's imagination and putting ideas into a usable tool bench of sorts.
Chapter 1 "Word Associations" really spoke to me, as did Chapter 3 "Constructions" with the idea of working in units.

I really enjoyed this book and found it very exciting as the work is not only Jan Messents work but other talented embroiderers as well.
