The breathtaking artistry and consummate craftsmanship of the Celts has provided us with some of the finest treasures of the ancient world. In this beautiful book, Celtic art and ornament--from gorgeous intricate jewelry, such as knot rings and brooches, to stunning illuminated manuscripts, such as the celebrated Book of Kells --fire the imagination of one of our most talented designers. Finding in needlepoint the perfect medium for exploring and expanding on the superb detail and magical, delicate fluidity of Celtic art, Alice Starmore has produced a magnificent collection of new, original designs for present-day embroiderers.
Stonework, metalwork, interlacing key patterns, knotwork, spirals, and plant and animal forms all provide fertile ground for exquisite needlepoint creations worked in rich, glowing colours. Designs, large and small, vary from cushions and belts to a bookmark, rug, stool cover, a chair seat, even a chessboard!
Complete instructions are given with easy-to-follow charts and a choice of two leading needlepoint yarn brands for each project. A conversion chart at the back of the book offers a further selection of yarns. In a final chapter on techniques, Alice Starmore, an accomplished teacher of crafts, provides a comprehensive lesson in all the simple needlepoint methods you will need, as well as a full explanation of how to work shading with several strands of yarn.
Gloriously illustrated throughout with atmospheric photography, Celtic Needlepoint is an inspirational feast as well as a practical reference.
