Books on Dolls and Beaded Bags
Beaded Belles
$13.45
(incl. postage)
|
Porcelain half dolls have
been decorating household items since the 1800's. They were used for
enhancing tea cosies, pincushions or trinket boxes or were seen at the
top of a small whisk broom. Since this time the dolls have seen a
resurgence of popularity in the form of tassel dolls for curtain tie
backs or ornaments.
In this book the dolls have been dressed in delicate bead crocheted
skirts. Some even have long beaded strands as their tassels.
Pre-strung size 11 seed beads and # 8 perle cotton have been used to create these masterpieces.
To become a Beaded Belle yourself, Jenny has added a beaded bracelet to
this book. Please go to the gallery to see the illustration of what
Jenny calls her SPANGLE BANGLE.
"Whenever I go out with a Spangle Bangle on my wrist I ALWAYS receive a compliment". |
Heirloom Beaded Bags
$13.45
(incl. postage)
|
11 Beaded Bags and 2 pieces of jewelery can be found in HEIRLOOM BEADED BAGS.
All are crocheted using # 8 perle cotton and Size 11 Pre-strung beads.
Most crocheted bags rely on counting beads when stringing them and using
a double crochet stitch(sc in USA terms). Jenny has used an alternative
approach to achieve both a fair isle effect AND a diverse range of stitches.
Jenny's imagination and love of HISTORY has influenced her designs. She
has included a Miser's purse, which has 2 different shaped ends and is
secured with rings. It is probably a replica of a GENTLEMAN'S PURSE
from the time of gas street lighting.
The FLAPPER'S ROPE NECKLACE is a long rope of beads. This is one of the favorites from this book.
Patterns listed are:
PURSEFULLY PURPLE(a coin purse)
MISERS PURSE
EVENING BAG( a full size and usable evening bag)
ANTHEA'S ANCIENT SECRET
GRAPE PASSION
RED AMULET BAG
BLACK KNIGHT(an amulet bag)
TURKISHLY DELIGHTFUL(necklace bag)
OLD GOLD( an amulet bag)
A WALK DOWN THE AISLE( this bag is unobtrusive yet large enough for the bride)
ENCHANTED MOONLIGHT
FLAPPERS ROPE
BRACELET
This is MOST DEFINITELY NOT YOUR AVERAGE BEADING BOOK. |

Books on clothes for boys
For the boys - USA edition

Every time the weather turns cold my Husband drags out his OLD FAITHFUL
SWEATER I crocheted him 20 years ago. "It is warmer than the others because it is crocheted"
he declares. He is 6'6" and most patterns do not fit him.
This is when I decided to do book exclusively for the Boys and Men of the family.
I knew the designs had to be masculine and resemble the garments found in Surf shops if I wanted
the 2 men in my family to ACTUALLY WEAR THEM. I knew the concept of Crochet and MEN isn't
necessarily a common one.
Textured stitches and contemporary designs feature highly in the 13 patterns in this book. I
have designed them so that most are interchangeable.
The designs include
- A V-necked vest and matching sweater,
- A zippered front lumberjack styled vest with deep pockets,
- A crew neck sweater,
- Surf stlyed, zipperd neck opening sweater in Denim and another one in stripes,
- A complete set for baby boys with a one piece sweater, lace up shoes, long pants and hat.
- a striped sweater for the young men( up to 12yrs ).
- Super Easy Slipper socks for all sizes.
- 2 patterned sweaters one in Red, white, navy, blue and grey.
- and the lovely Aztec inspired one you can see on the front cover.
The men's designs come in chest sizes of 42" to 52".
I am proud and delighted to say that the garments featured in this book are used constantly by
both my Husband and Son. |
