Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both edition book 1 and book 2 together is unheard of. It took me a long time to get both these books, from different sources but I did it (I am a stubborn old broad, said with admiration for myself, lol).There are many, many stitch books. There are some pattern books but not as many. This is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on Counting On The Diagonal. Then she goes right in...
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...
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...
The subtitle to this book is: Designs From Asia, Africa and The Americas.
Mary Norden is also the author of Mary Norden's Needlepoint, a interesting book with some *not seen everywhere* designs and ideas.
This book is her take on design from other cultures. To quote from the dust jacket flap
"From the rich and dazzling array of ethnic textiles from around the world Mary Norden has distilled this exotic collection of over 50 projects and ideas for your home."
"Twenty seven full color c...
Of the many needlepoint design book based on other cultures, Africian design is one you don't often see. The subtitle for this books is: Charted Fort Easy User and indeed the charts are good size, often large in full color. There are no tiny block charts to peer at.
This is a Dover Needlework Series book (or perhaps it should be called a booklet at just 41pages) published in 1976. The designs are very modern, not 1970s looking or colors.
Each design is charted in both black and white and...
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 beautie...
B. Borssuck is a well-known needlepoint author who in the late 1970s and the early 1980s wrote some terrific Needlepoint Monogram books. One of them, 97 Needlepoint Alphabets, has become a rare & important book. Picture Your Dog in Needlework is something of a departure for B. Borssuck, here she is working with Ann Jackson. Quoting (and probably paraphrasing some) from the back cover: "A collection if 40 remarkably realistic portraits containing single studies, captivating head views, deligh...
These two needlepoint artists combine their different specialities and styles to create this book of original designs.Caroline Robins does intricate figurative and geometric designs. Christine Buttner specializes in strong graphics.This is not a fancy stitch book, all of the designs are stitched using tent or continental stitch with the emphasis on color, shape, and effect. These original designs are inspired by the natural world, ethnic influences, textile patterns, history and art. There a...
This book was published in association with the WWF, The World Wide Fund for Nature. It has 23 needlepoint designs featuring exotic animals, birds and flowers on the endangered species list. Wildlife in Needlepoint was published in England by Anaya Publishers LTD in 1992. It is a large coffee table size book full of beautiful full color pictures and color guides for each design. What it does not have is Stitch Graphs or Charts showing how to stitch these fine designs. On the "How to Use This B...
Graham Leslie McCallum's design template books are always thick, with many pages and many, many designs. Another excellent Batsford Book.Like most of his books this one includes a CD. This copy is used however it looks like it was rarely used and the CD is here and in perfect condition.The Chinese Design motifs vary from simple to quite complex. There are also a number of Chinese influenced border designs.The designs include:Flowers and Plants, Animals, Birds, Fish, Borders and Patter...
The subtitle to this interesting looking book is *A Creative Approach to Canvas Embroidery* The Liberated Canvas was published in Cape Town, South Africa so, of course, Canvas Embroidery means Needlepoint. This is a rare book, it is so rare I doubt many people even know of it. I was drawn by the title, so I ordered it...knowing nothing about it, as usual.
very hard to find, very rare and very expensive. I dislike this as much as you do. It was also expensive, sorry. After looking through...
This interesting book is about historical lettering applications and lettering design more then an actual instruction book. There are graphs, lettering templates and instructions but design does seem to be most of what this book is about.
It is a Batsford Book, another of thier fine books on stitcery and published in the UK, so the historical design is mostly English. Still is is an interesting read and full of pictures.
The chapters are: History of Lettering, History of embroidered Letters...
