Overview

The first book from the imaginative and playful mind of Coral & Tusk, a textile designer, whose lovely animal and natural designs have become popular staples for interior designers and embroiderers everywhere. Founder Stephanie Housley’s Coral & Tusk is beloved by interior designers, embroiderers, homeowners, and an expanding audience of Instagram followers due to her detailed stitches that bring a whimsical parade of animals and natural forms into any home. From playful foxes donning overalls to mushrooms that double as quarters for inquisitive chipmunks, Coral & Tusk creates endearing atmospheres that belong on table linens, living room couch cushions, and upholstered seating. This book presents her best and most lovable designs and explores her inspirational process: hand-drawn illustrations that come to life as embroidered textiles. Each animal becomes a character, and their habitat becomes a home that the reader can find comfort in. Included is the full natural world of Coral & Tusk, from the seas to woodlands with encounters from lots of pocket animals along the way, reminding us to look outside for inspiration within our home.

""Featuring 224 pages of hand-drawn illustrations of the whimsical sea creatures and playful woodland animals that inspire Housley’s waggish embroidered textiles, the designer is most proud that the book’s “tactile cover” is “reflective of our craft and the content of all the pages.” ~ SOUTHERN LIVING
