As a child, Teresa Wentzler was facinated by tales beginning with "Once upon a time..."; the very words suggested that an enchanted story was about to ensue. It is no wonder that she now loves to create works that visually embody the elements of fairy tales. Best known for her richly detailed cross stitch interpretations of medieval scenes, Teresa uses her art to pique our curiosity about a time long ago and the fanciful inhabitants that reside at the edges of our imaginations. Compiled in this book are ten of her classic fantasy designs feturing fair maidens with flowing locks, resplendant castles shadowed by towering turrets, and mythical creatures of mystique. With each stroke of the needle, you'll bring these masterpieces to life and come to appreciate Teresa's skillful use of rich color palettes, elaborate shading and blending filaments, intricate borders, and specialty stitches. All of these elements beautifully unite to produce dimensional effects that seem to lift each stunning illustration right out of its frame. As you turn the pages of this magnificent collection, from Rapunzel to the Unicorn, may you be carried away with the distinctive talent of this magnificently gifted designer.

Designs: Rapunzel, Day, Night, Magical Night, Carousel, The Castle Sampler, Stroke of Midnight, The Castle, Pegasus, and Unicorn.
