Mycket gott skick. Engelsk text. ISBN 0289801273. Baksidestext: PRACTICAL HOME PROJECTS IN AUTHENTIC FOLK ART STYLE! This book is a beautifully illustrated celebration of a vibrant tradition of popular arts and crafts dating from long before the Industrial Revolution. In Europe, Scandinavia and even Britain, and later in eastern America, self-sufficient country communities carried on old skills - from rugmaking, quilting and needlecraft, to painted decoration, woodcarving and metalwork ? always with the emphasis on simplicity, brightness of colour and liveliness of pattern. Today it is exactly the simplcity, colour and pattern of traditional folk art that attracts so many creative home decorators, who find that folk art effects are encouragingly easy to achieve without special materials, artistic training or a limitless budget. Thus, as well as inspirational pictures of genuine folk art artefacts, Folk Art also offers 35 I practical projects to make at home, each cleariy explained step-by-step in words and pictures. The projects range from colourful quilts and hooked rugs to attractive special patterns for walls and furniture; from authentic carved wood motifs to simple but effective punched tinware. Stunningly designed and photographed, crammed with information, Folk Art is the definitive guide to an exhilarating and accessible decorative heritage.
