Sherlee Lantz is well known as the creator and author of the book TrianglePoint as well as this, her encyclopedic and huge (508 pages) book on the structure and geometry of needlepoint. The book is subtitled: Centuries of Design, Textures, Stitches A New Exploration I never noticed this before but the back cover has recommendations from some unusual people like: The New York Times, Leo Lerman, Romain Gary and Jules Feiffer. From the front dust jacket We usually associate the abstract beauties...
There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet amp; Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
Almost all the orders I recieved were for both books.
I am completely sold out of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and can't find any more copies at any kind of reasonable price (as in under $80.00 my cost). This has happened to me before, I buy so many copies of a particular out-of-print book that I create the rarity and the prices skyrocket.
I do have a number of copie...
I was unsure what Glorafilia was but after reading these books I think it boils down to some unusual and decorative stitches (which were hardly used back in the 1990's when these books were published), Long and Short Stitch and traditional Continental or Basketweave stitch. The end effect is gorgeous and very well suited to Impressionists Art. This handsome book has original needlepoint designs using the art of Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Morisot, Renior, Pisarro and Cassat. (no Picasso...
I did an article for Needlepoint Now magazine's July/August 2014 issue on The Needlework Doctor. At the time I had around 25 copies, laboriously collected over the previous months.
The demand for this book was overwhelming. I sold my whole stock in just a few days, I even sold my own copy. When I tried to find more copies of this rare and important book I found that the rare book market had noticed what I was doing. The price for copies of this book skyrocketed. We are talking hundreds to tho...
Joen Wolfram is a name I recognize. She is also the creator of the very useful Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool that I have sold here for man years now.
There is a line of words printed at the top of the cover, I would not call it a subtitle but they dogive you an idera of the book
Depth-Iridescence-Lumonsity-Luster-Opalescence-Transparency.
Quoting and very slightly paraphrasing from the back cover
Using Nature as her guide, author Joen Wolfram unlocks the mysteries of color, relating color theo...
The subtitle for this interesting book is:
120 Contemporary Designs Fort Cross Stitch and Needlepoint.
So many of the current Alphabet books are based on historic designs andf lettering, it is nice to see a book with a more miodern take. Plus, numbers are very rare among these books. You wouldn't think this was so but it is.
Stitch Alphabets and Numbers begins with some basics, materials needed, basic designs and how to approach it all.
The alphabets in this book are truly unique. I boug...
This is an interesting book, the Monograms amp; Ciphers shown are all originals, designed amp; drawn by the author, A.A. Turbayne and other members of the Carlton Studio. I had never heard of The Carlton Studio so I did a search for it. Several possibilities came back from the search. There is a Carlton College of Art in Minnesota. There is also Carlton Studio, associated TV in Nottingham our The Carlton Studio Winery, Wine Club etc. Then again, the original book was 1906 so it could be anypla...
I am a fan of B. Borssuck books in general. 3 of my recent articles for Needlepoint Now magazine have been on B.'s books. This is her excellent letters (and numbers, it is very hard to find stitchery books with numbers as well as letters in them). The other big plus here is that this book is designed and charted for needlepoint. Most are embroidery or cross-stitch and have to be slightly adapted for needlepoint.
Each Alphabet or Number in this book is graphed full size, so the graphs can be...
Despite the existence of several newly published books on finishing, this classic book, Finishing and Mounting Your Needlepoint Pieces, remains a popular and requested book.
Although this book's focus is finishing and mounting finshed needlepoint projects, it also has 40 original needlepoint designs. Covered are blocking, lining, mitering corners etc. There is complete information on how to make trims of braid, cord. fringes and tassels. The book has many pictures illustrating these technique...
This is an unusual needlepoint book, I know there are very few (if any) other books on this subject. This book has 43 color plates and 28 diagrams. This book has become incredibly rare. I have sold a number of them over the years and each time I try to replace it, it gets harder to find and more expensive. I think this unique book is worth it. All the stitch charts are done in full color with a color key. I think it would be difficult to stitch a plaid without a full color chart. One in shades...
This is a very interesting book, it is a book subject and approach I have not seen before. Everybody always seems concerned with the main event in any piece of needlepoint. The main design or motif or whatever. So little thought is every given to backgrounds. In fact, most of today's most admired and creative needlepoint designers ignore the whole subject of backgrounds. It is left up to the individual stitchers to chose a background and often the colors as well. The book begins with a short p...
I have listed these books separately, as well, so when on one (or any) of them sells by itself I will have to remove the listing for the whole group.
