Description
Learn From a Master Lacemaker
Russian Lace Making is a step-by-step guide to this ancient craft by the internationally known and legendary lacemaker Bridget Cook. Bold and durable, this distinctive lacework is as artistic as it is practical; intricate colorful designs of flowers, trees, birds, animals, and stars set this unique work apart.
The techniques for making Russian lace are distinctly different from those used in the Western European counterpart; ribbon tape is used, and fewer bobbins are employed. There are distinctive styles, which continue to evolve, from all over the former Soviet Union.
Russian Lace Making includes traditional designs as well as several of the author's original creations. Cook adeptly reveals the techniques using progressive photos and diagrams of each piece; the diagrams include the pricking patterns and placement of the Russian ribbon tape. Whether beginner or seasoned expert, this book is a must have for anyone wishing to create colorful and useful renditions of Russian-style lace.
In this international edition, instructions are provided in English, Dutch, French and German, and the book has over 175 illustrations and diagrams.
