Download or read book A Book of Old Embroidery Classic Reprint written by A. F. Kendrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Old Embroidery There are two obvious points of view from which the consideration of the handicrafts may be approached - of the worker and of the user. In the case of embroidery these persons are often one and the same. In ancient and mediaeval times the dividing line was probably still harder to draw than it is now, and in an ideal state of things maker and user, worker and wearer, would be more closely identified than at present. There need be no fear that this would tend to depress any legitimate professional trade it would simply add to the amount of embroidery we should see around us and increase the general appreciation in which it would be held. It is for all alike. The most exalted names have added to their claim to remembrance and honour by their skill and interest in embroidery, and the work of the lowliest often merits a place of distinc tion, as many a peasant's frock or child's sampler bears witness (plates 11 and A tradition like this could be kept up, and there is no reason why it should not be done. The materials and implements needed are few, simple and inexpensive. Long and arduous training is of course needed in this, as in everything else, for the most accomplished work, and all honour to those who have devoted so much of their lives to the task. But a beginner's efforts, under due guidance, are Often admirable in their way. The help and encouragement of trained teachers and skilled amateurs, never more readily and ungrudgingly given than at the present time, are of much promise for the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of English Embroidery Executed Prior to the Middle of the XVI Century A description of these celebrated fragments is given in the catalogue (writing-room, Nos. 5 and but a few facts of interest in connection with their history should be briefly mentioned. Had these wonderful em broideries borne upon them no record of the date or the locality of their origin, it would have been hard to believe that such work could have been produced in anglo-saxon England.

Download or read book An Embroidery Book Classic Reprint written by Anne Knox Arthur and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Embroidery Book Most people have a superstition that in knowledge of a multitude Of stitches lies the whole mystery Of needle work. This is emphatically not the case. There really is no mystery about stitches they are but the letters Of the needleworker's alphabet, and the words Of her lan guage - to be used according to her Own ideas. One may embroider poems; another may embroider prayers and praises for her church; another may beautify a fair woman's garment or sing a little song in stitches for a baby's robe; yet another may be like a treatise on sur gery, repairing and restoring that which has been damaged. But needlework does not exist for the stitches. It is the stitches Which - as they are well or ill-used express the worker, and, if she is a wise Worker, she can find out for herself most Of the stitches she needs. Nor is it necessary to be at great expense in needlework, indeed, for those who take it up as a recreative craft half the interest may lie in the fact that no material is too common or too homely to be made into something fitting and, therefore, beautiful - since the truest art is to make a thing pleasing to the eye and yet entirely suited to the purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Embroidered Bookbindings Exhausting and futile struggle with France, Eng land was torn asunder by the wars of the Roses, and by the time these were ended the school of illumination, so full of promise, and seemingly SO firmly established, had absolutely died out. When printing was introduced England possessed no trained illuminators or skilful scribes such as in other countries were forced to make the best of the new art in order not to lose their living, nor were there any native wood-engravers ready to illustrate the new books. I have never myself seen or heard of a 'caxton' in which an illuminator has painted a preliminary border or initial letters even the rubrication, where it exists, is usually a disfigurement; while as for pictures, it has been unkindly said that inquiry whence they were obtained is superfluous, since any boy with a knife could have cut them as well.
