Book Description
Designer Barabara Hammet combines both practical skill and interpretive vision in this new and exciting collection of cross stitch projects. Drawing her inspiration from the surviving examples of the art of ancient Celtic kingdoms, she's produced a series of stunning re-workings of the classical Celtic swirling shapes and sinuous forms that are at once both modern and timeless.
Projects include pin cushions, needle cases, bookmarks, box lids, cushions, table cloths, place mats, and more! And there's many more patterns to suit every level of skill, plus a motif library to provide plenty of inspiration for further projects.
About the Author
Barbara Hammet is a designer who began her career teaching arts and crafts and history of art. Embroidery provided her with the opportunity to combine this knowledge with her interest in the colours and textures of fabrics and threads. She runs her own design business, Wessex Embroidery Collection, selling kits based on historic designs. This is her third book to be published by David and Charles: the earlier two are The Art of William Morris and Art Nouveau Cross Stitch. Barbara lives in Winchester.
