About This Book
THE CREATION OF THE SIGNATURE SERIES COLLECTION
The Signature Series book presents an array of detailed images and examples taken
directly from Stephen Wilson’s studio work, using embroidery in unique, alternative
methods to create stunning works of art. Most known for his company Anita Goodesign,
Wilson also has an established fine arts career, with embroidery and quilting as his main
medium of choice, with artwork on exhibit in over twelve fine art galleries around the
world and museum showings regularly appearing around the nation. His first published
art book, Luscious Threads, explored Wilson’s works in detail, showcasing hundreds of
unique works created with embroidery machines and a personal touch of magic.
With his original pieces starting at $900 for smaller scale and upwards of $100,000 for
larger installations, visitors of his studio often inquire about creating these beautiful and
intricate works on their own. Now, Wilson shares his world of fine art embroidery to
home embroidery customers, giving a sneak peek into his studio, artistic process, and
even providing guidance on creating entirely original works of art. The first volume
of Wilson’s Signature Series will delve into the details of over 100 elements, each
personally digitized by Wilson himself and even used in his own luxury works. Aside
from step-by-step directions on the creation of each project element, this book will
divulge some of Wilson’s original ideas and inspirational sources, proper presentation,
and even showcasing some of his original studio works in the hopes of guiding readers
on a personal and artistic journey of their own.
