These are gorgeous letters to use as a lavish alphabet or as monograms. The Victorians did everything a little (or a lot) over the top and these fit that description. By the noted Victorian-era designer Karl Klimsch who excelled in the use of clean lines, shading and 3 dimensional effects. His 2 letter monograms were original published in Germany in 1869.These handsome monograms are easily re-produced, the size is easily changed with a copier or scanner. They are all copy-right free. This is...
For me, anyway, Shading has been one of the hardest things to learn. While you can learn most stitches by following a diagram, shading takes thought, planning and judgement (sort of like the rest of life, isn't it?). Most of the books I have found that teach Shading are embroidery books and they are concerned with Silk Shading. I find that every technique and approach they teach applies to Needlepoint as well. The author, Sarah Homfray, is a Graduate apprentice. To quote from the back cover...
I am really impressed by all these new and very useful Beginner's Books. Some of these techniques can be overwhelming if you are new to them. Recently there has been a new Beginner's Silk Ribbon stitching book A Beginner's DVD on Silk Ribbon work by Helen Gibb, , a Beginner's Guide to Beading by Ann Cox, Needlepoint Secrets by June McKnight & Needlepoint: a Foundation Course by Sandra Hardy. These are just a few of the influx of Beginner's Books, some of the ones I have in stock here at NewNeed...
Pat Trott is also the author of another stitchery book, Montmellick Embroidery, (which I just so happen to have listed here in my Other New Needlework Books category). Her books are handsomely done and the techniques are clearly presented. Most of these designs are shown stitched on Aida or slightly open linen embroidery fabric. All of them are easily adaptable to needlepoint. (actually, not real adaptation needed). Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the back cover "A step-by-step guide to creati...
I know, I have many of these Silk Ribbon stitching books here in my web store, but in my own defense, these books have gorgeous projects, beautiful stitching. If I could add another line of threads to NewNeedlepoint.com, it would be Silk Ribbons. I would love to kit with them, use them with other threads. Oh well...... Back to my subject. The flowers, made with Silk Ribbon, in this book are spectacular. There is quite a bit of technique here. The flowers have texture and depth. Many stand out...
The Royal School of Needlework books are some of the best needlepoint & needlework books out there. This new one is GOLDWORK by Helen McCook. I like this, it is written on the back of this (and every) book. "The Royal School of Needlework teaches Hand Embroidery to the highest standard, developing techniques in new and innovative ways." 'I don't think it could be said better then that. Please take the use of *embroidery* as an all encompassing term. In the UK they often call needlepoint Canva...
I am very impressed with this book, This comprehensive reference book has 53 Complete Fonts.
That means that each & every letter for 53 different alphabets are here. The sizes vary as do the style and look of the letters within the Celtic & Medieval. These fonts can be used for Embroidery, Cross-Stitch, Needlepoint or just about any lettering purpose. The author has selected and arranged these fonts, by type, from the SoloType Typographers Catalog. Quoted from the back cover : "Facing the...
A brand new completely updated and revised replacement for the RSN Book of Embroidery Techniques. This is a major addition of Needlework Knowledge, an extraordinary book.I know this is not strictly a needlepoint book but there are so many interesting techniques from this book that can be easily used and adapted to needlepoint. The RSN Book of Embroidery now includes Crewelwork, Blackwork, Whitework, Silk Shading, Stumpwork, Bead Embroidery, Canvaswork, and Goldwork. It does not replace th...
On the cover of this book it says that all the designs are Copy_right Free. 123 Plates, 91 Complete Alphabets, 3,924 Initials. It goes on to say, on the back cover, that when you buy this book, you are also buying the right to use any Alphabet or Initial(s) in the book free of charge, without asking permission. The Alphabets here were found in rare, out-of-print books/ They are reproduced directly from their source, so they will again reproduce well. Decorative Alphabets and Initials has be...
I have recently become aware of these gorgeous book about stitching flowers & gardens by Diana Lampe. I was aware of her name and the type of books she wrote but had no idea how wonderful they were until I saw one. WOW!.
I do love pansies and this amazing book has 93 different pansies to stitch (not kidding) & 4 of the variety Heartsease. The book begins with the basics, 4 pages of full color pansies to choose from. Materials & equipment, working notes on pansies, how to stitch a pansy, finis...
Dover Press publishes an amazing variety of design books for artists, stitcher, designers etc. They also bring back into print books that are forgotten but interesting and useful. This book was originally copyrighted and published in 1988. the inside title page does not give me a re-print date but it is clearly a new book. The introduction gives you the how-tos for using these designs for: Cross-Stitch Needlepoint Knitting Crochet Decorative Alphabets has a charming collection of 30 charted d...
The entire title of this book is A Victorian Floral Alphabet In Cross-Stitch, Canvaswork & Crewel Embroidery. In the UK, where this was published, Canvaswork is another name for Needlepoint. I know you all know this already. This book is not what I thought it was when I ordered it. (remember I buy these books sight unseen,mostly by a very brief blurb and the author's name. Sue Hawkins is a familiar name, to me). It is not an Alphabet book, it is a book or stitched flowers. The first lett...
