Cross Stitch Animal Collection is a wonderful celebration of creatures of the land, sea and air that will give you the chance to stitch some of the most realistic images of animals ever seen.

Using her watercolours as inspiration, Jayne has produced exciting animal designs from five diverse habitats. Each section begins with a stunning showpiece ? an animal portrait surrounded by wildlife from the habitat, to be stitched together or as individual motifs. The Safari Collection opens with a proud lioness encircled by zebra, impala, elephant and lions. The golden eagle is the majestic centrepiece to Masters of the Air, while a brown bear takes centre stage in Forest Creatures. A dolphin is the focus of Ocean Life, while an adorable seal is at the heart of Polar Wildlife.

Each of the five sections also contains three additional designs relevant to the featured habitat. Some are striking portraits, like a rhino or a mountain hare; others are group compositions, such as little bee?eaters or penguins leaping into the sea. Whichever you choose, each study is sure to create a spectacularly vivid piece.

Whilst the completed designs are ideal for framing, they can also be displayed in many other ways, from stitching on waste canvas on to a smock top, to working on a band to enhance a towel. Beautiful colour photographs clearly show the finished work, with instructions, stitching tips and colour charts that are easy to follow. With Jayne's delightful watercolour illustrations to provide extra inspiration, this unique collection will please all cross stitchers seeking fresh, realistic animal designs.
