Exquisite miniatures in a Japanese style will be a challenge even for the most experienced lacemaker: the smallest patterns are not necessarily the easiest! Other patterns include flowers, scrolls, leaves and butterflies, plus some more unusual designs: dragons, a picture depicting the legend of Arion and the dolphin, and a spectacular piece featuring the mythical seven-headed Hydra. There is a good range of patterns, including both prickings and photographs of the finished pieces, suitable for abilities ranging from beginner to advanced.

Designing and Weaving Double Cloth explains the magic behind creating a multi-layered fabric in a single piece. With clear, detailed instruction and over 500 images, it provides a thorough account of the principles, and encourages you to explore the potential of this exciting technique.Double cloth holds a special fascination for handweavers: there is something truly extraordinary about being able to create a multi-layered fabric in a single piece. In Designing and Weaving Double Cloth, the processes of double weave design and construction are developed step by step through detailed examples and inspirational projects. Starting with two layers on four shafts, and methodically building up a repertoire of design elements from blocks and curves to colour and structure, this book offers something for everyone from the double cloth novice to the experienced weaver. Every element is illustrated with samples and full-colour drafts, and practical advice is supported by detailed photographs of warping, weaving and finishing techniques. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on offering a choice of approaches in both design and construction, equipping the reader with the tools to pursue their own vision for double cloth and bring it to life at the loom.

Creative Dimensions in Weaving explains many techniques weavers can use to incorporate visual and physical depth in their woven fabric. It first looks at many familiar weave structures and transforms them into dimensional surfaces, before exploring the sculptural potential in multi-layer weaves. Aimed at weavers of all abilities, it introduces the principles and topics clearly for the novice, but provides advanced ideas and challenges for those with more experience. Richly illustrated, this thorough book encourages and inspires all weavers with four or more shafts to experiment and to understand the possibilities of adapting techniques to make ever more creative and unique work. The textural surface of cloth is often overlooked. Touching fabrics from birth, most people have an instinct for texture but would not necessarily know how to create tactile surfaces in cloth. Creative Dimensions in Weaving opens the door to various techniques that ally materials with weave structures so that many different three-dimensional surfaces can be made. Some are subtle, some more extreme but all are aimed at moving the fabric beyond the _at plane. The book shows methods, explains the reasoning behind decision-making, and gives many options for the reader to explore and incorporate in their weaving vocabulary, with examples of drafts, cloth and inspirational work from many weavers. For weavers with four shafts and more, the book offers possibilities for any level of expertise, with a particular focus for eight-shaft looms. Single cloth, double cloth with several adaptations, and multiple layers are included.
