Summary

Jill Nordfors Clark presents an inspirational sequel to her first best-selling book, 'Needle Lace and Needle Weaving', in this original work containing new stitches and techniques, and a gorgeous selection of needle lace from around the world. In her long-awaited follow-up, she shows how to approach this traditional medium in new and exciting ways, with exhilarating colours, materials and designs. It is a wonderfully portable and adaptable art form, suitable for creating contemporary items as well as traditional linens, collars and wedding dresses. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and stitch diagrams, this book is the new bible for embroiderers of all skill levels.
The word 'lace' fills the mind with romantic images of crisp white lace-edged linen and elegant creamy textures. Today's artists have taken this medium and made it their own - with an exuberant and free-spirited use of colours and materials. With more than two hundred photographs, step-by-step demonstrations illustrating innovative techniques, and eighty stitch diagrams, 'Needle Lace: Techniques and Inspiration' is the new bible for the field. It will excite and inspire embroiderers to create beautiful, delicate and dynamic pieces of work.
* Step-by-step photographs and clear stitch diagrams guide the reader through the techniques * The book includes an inspirational gallery of needle lace from around the world * A known author, Jill Nordfors Clark is internationally recognised for her Needle Lace skills, innovative work and expertise * No competition specifically on Needle Lace, although this technique is included in two Merehurst titles on raised embroidery (stumpwork):
