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.

Download or read book The Ladies Guide to Needle Work Classic Reprint written by Sarah A. F. Sheilds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies Guide to Needle-Work Martha Washington received her lady friends, rising from her knitting or sewing, and resuming the work of her fingers while conversing, and there are specimens of her skill still treasured. Too much cannot be said in favor of this branch of feminine education, and it is a grievous error to allow girls to arrive at maturity ignorant of the full use of the needle. It should be introduced into the daily routine of every school, more especially the plainer and more useful branches, and as early as possible every girl should be required to make and keep in perfect repair the articles in her own wardrobe. Fancy work is a secondary consideration, although this little book will be for the guidance of those, who, having conquered the mysteries of plain sewing, turn for recreation to the daintier and prettier arts of embroidery and fancy knitting. The march of progress extends into this domain as well as all others, and every day some new fancy is displayed in needlework simply for ornamentation. But While the variety of form and use is endless, close examination will generally prove to the expert needlewoman that the most complicated and bewildering com himations reduce themselves to some simple stitch or rule perfectly familiar to them, and the embroidery, crochet, or knitting needle already in possession is the only implement required. The stores for the sale of fancy work, also supply every variety of material carefully prepared for use, simplifying every branch of needlework. To attempt to describe every article in detail would far exceed the compass of this little volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
