Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hardanger and Gittertyl Art Embroidery This little town of Northern Europe has given a name to an embroidery that 'has spread over nearly all Europe, and also found its way to this country. Hardanger embroidery is, of course, new to most Americans; but if you have ever travelled through Norway, Sweden or Den mark, you will learn that almost every child knows what the work is. It is taught in the schools, and many a mother shows, with pride, sheets, pillow cases, centrepieces and scarfs of Hardanger work made by the hands of her young children. Accurate counting and careful cutting is required in Hardanger embroidery, consequently the eye of the child is trained to accu racy - very helpful in other things.

Download or read book The Priscilla Hardanger Book written by Nellie Clarke Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Priscilla Hardanger Book: A Collection of Beautiful Designs in Hardanger Embroidery; With Lessons and Stitches As the square is the principle upon which Hardanger embroidery is based, any fabric woven with a square mesh so that warp and filling are the same size may be used. When the threads are drawn, a per feet square must always result. Hardanger canvas, manufactured especially for the purpose, is most commonly used, and the various sizes of scrim and Congress canvas are also suitable. Many dress materials are adapted to this work, and the possibilities of Hardanger embroidery directly upon the fabric of the dress, and worked in the same or harmonizing colors, is especially alluring to the feminine mind. The uses to which this beautiful embroidery may be put are many. With the Norwegian woman the apron is a most important part of her wardrobe, and this she decorates most elaborately. Hardanger embroidery makes an excellent decoration for curtains, portieres, and bed-spreads. It is a beautiful ornamentation for lunch-cloths, sideboard scarfs, buffet-covers, tray-cloths, bags, collars and cuffs, belts, blouses, towels, centrepieces, pillow-covers, and gowns. One pretty con ceit is the little Hardanger medallion used as the cover for button molds. When undertaking a piece of Hardanger embroidery the first thing to be done is to deeply overcast the edges of the canvas to prevent fraying. All work must be embroidered before any threads are cut. To cut and draw out the threads and then attempt to embroider is to invite trouble and disaster. The canvas edges will ravel, the working thread will not lie in the proper position, and the cut edges will catch the thread to its injury.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Embroidery: A Treatise on the Revived Practice of Decorative Needlework It is many years Since the samplers of our granda mothers gave place to the fancy-work of modern times, and we are only now beginning to perceive all the uselessness and ugliness of those productions which have brought this term into such dis repute, and have caused the adoption of one of greater refinement and at the same time of greater pretension, viz., Art Needlework. In order that we may be justified in the use of such a term, we Should be fully aware' of all that is implied in it, and, not satisfied With merely following a passing fashion, possess ourselves of lasting principles by which to regulate our work - principles that at the same time may be a growing source of refined pleasure, as leading to the cultivation of the artistic sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwegian Drawn Work (Hardanger): Shirtwaist Edition, Gittertyl Filet The Norwegian drawn work which is called (Hardanger) has a large circle of friends in America and is not entirely new. Ages ago in Persia the ladies worked on fine and rare materials, with silk, these beautiful embroideries. To our grandmothers, also, this was not a new work, but it did not have the pronounced character of today, and in connection with other drawn work it was varied with curved damask-like stitches, and was known in Italy as Punto-Tagliato and Punto-Rialto. The present work was first executed in Norway, a county on the southeast coast, hence the name. As curved lines are excluded from the technic only articles appropriate for Norwegian draw work (Hardanger) are chosen, such as curtains, bed-spreads, sofa pillows, center pieces, doilies, shirtwaists, collars, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Needle Painting, or Landscape Embroidery The great number of books already issued on the subject of Embroidery, have doubtless rendered the general public familiar with its history. Students of the Bible will readily recall the de scription of the curtains of the Ark which Moses was commanded to build. These hangings, for the gate of the court, says sacred history, were of blue and purple and scar let and fine twined linen, wrought with needle work. The garments also of the High Priest were, a broidered coat, a mitre and a girdle, with the ephod of gold, of blue, of purple, of scarlet and fine twined linen, with cunning work. Again, in the building of the Temple of Solomon, the veil for the Temple was, of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon. In fact, from Bible times to the present, altar cloths and priestly robes, exquisite in design, have been cunningly wrought with the needle.

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.

Download or read book Artistic Embroidery written by Ella Rodman Church and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artistic Embroidery: Containing Practical Instructions in the Ornamental Branches of Needlework There is a wide difference between artistic embroidery and mere fancy work. Besides the manufacture of innumerable airy nothings for fairs and other purposes, the patient following of a glaring pat tern in bright wools also comes under the latter head. There is no individuality in this kind of work, nothing that fairly expresses the worker; the pattern being designed by one person, the putting it on canvas done by another, while filling in is frequently the task of a third. A piece of embroidery should have in a degree the same expression as a painting; and there is no good reason why the needle should not be as artistic an implement as the brush. To produce the effect of painting, however, it is necessary to follow very much the same rules; the first of which is that the selection of the materials, the designing of the pattern, and the work itself should be, as far as possible, done by one person.
