Shelley Faye Lazar's Oriental Collection: 20 Original Needlepoint Designs

Rating:
Summary: Needlepoint Review #1
Review: I'm not a needlepointer, I'm a beader; however, I could not resist buying this book for the designs! The writer not only gives you a brief tour of exotic, oriental places where she got ideas for her colorful designs, but also she gives complete directions on how to recreate her works of art. Her graphs and charts are easy to follow and present good guidelines for color selection. The last couple of pages have diagrammed direction on the needlepoint stiches she uses in her book. I am using her beautiful designs to create my own beaded art pieces and they are working!
