Designs in Needlepoint |
| |
| by Dorothy Wood |
|
Is there ever anything completely new in design? British
textile artist Wood borrows and adapts centuries-old
motifs from the rug makers of central Asia, and then
translates more than 25 different kilims into personal
and home style needlepoint items. Flat-weave carpets
from Afghanistan, Turkey, and Iran are emulated. Chapter
1 provides a brief introduction to the geography and
symbolism surrounding the weavings. Then each design,
prefaced by a few sentences about its original provenance,
includes a color photograph and a color graph as well
as a list of materials and how-to-finish information.

| Kilims:
A Buyer's Guide |
| |
| by Lee Allane |
|
The definitive guide for not only rug dealers and also
for ones to enjoy kilims. Every page is filled with
fascinating detail with clear illustrations and more
than forty fabulous full-page colour shots of rugs -
they are almost worth framing themselves! I found the
cultural side of rug making particularly interesting.
From the ethnic and religious, to the surprising influences
of modern warfare on recent rug motifs the history and
geography surrounding rug production is meticulously
documented with maps and thoroughly researched information
on even the smallest weaving groups.
