 Item #B02100 (Book) -- $29.95Bloomsbury Needlepoint by Melinda Coss |
| During the First World War, the Bloomsbury Group -- a circle of influential British writers, artists and designers -- retreated to Charleston, a farmhouse in Sussex, England, where they put their aesthetic into practice by painting on walls and furniture, designing fabrics, and producing an abundance of dramatic needlework. They succeeded in creating a style so unique it has since exerted a profound influence on decoration in both Britain and North America. This book is a profusion of pillows, rugs, and upholstery in original designs, and examples of needlecraft abound in the house featuring full-color photographs of the finished projects and detailed color charts for most of the designs. Bloomsbury Needlepoint offers inspiration for creating a Bloomsbury look in any home, but above all it offers a completely new approach to the increasingly popular pastime of needlepoint and a wealth of unusual and original projects to re-create. 120 pages hardback. |
