About This Item
London: Cassell. Very Good/Very Good. 1992. First Edition. Hard Cover. 4to 0304342513 Dust jacket unclipped, slight loss to edges. Colour illustrated boards. Patterned end papers. No ownership marks. 167 pages clean and tight. Product Dimensions: 29.5 x 22.1 x 2.3 cm. A book that shows the reader how to make over 45 craft projects, recreating attractive accessories and keepsakes from the Victorian era. Included are step-by-step instructions, explanatory diagrams and colour photographs of all the finished items. From a Victorian lady's fan and a ribbon-embroidered diary to a sewing basket and a doll's house, Victorian Crafts is a treasure trove of charming projects. Homes in the nineteenth century were always filled with favourite objects and delightful trinkets; Victorian Crafts gives you the opportunity to recreate this same blend of style, elegance and romanticism. Over 40 captivating craft ideas have been chosen to encompass an exciting variety of traditional skills, such as crazy patchwork, Brazilian embroidery, candlewicking, simple woodworking, decorative painting and beadwork. Beginners might like to start with, for example, simple Victorian Christmas decorations, children's toys and embroidered jewel boxes, and then move on to something more ambitious, such as a miniature Victorian doll's house or a full-length cotton nightgown. Richly illustrated throughout in colour, the projects have clear step-by-step instructions and explanatory diagrams. In each case an authentic craft from the era is featured, although of course materials are all adapted to today's availability. So, indulge in a little nostalgia, and try out some of the most attractive crafts of a bygone era. .
