Blackwork Embroidery - My Methods and Techniques by Jack Robinson
This book is THE best book on blackwork technique around. If you want to do the best work you are capable of, this book is the book for you. It contains a selection of diaper patterns, all charted from original sources; a bibliography and very good suggestions for doing further research yourself (geared to the UK-based reader, but a lot of information would apply equally to readers based outside the UK); guides to different approaches to shading; drawing symmetrical motifs (e.g. a tudor rose); mounting a slate frame; lacing the finished piece; detailed information on executing the embroidery (Jack Robinson is a precision embroiderer par excellence, and this shows through clearly in his work); and even more detailed coverage of the work you need to do to prepare your fabric and design in order to get the best results.
Hardback; iv; 67pp. Illustrated with clearly labelled hand-drawn B+W line diagrams throughout. Charts of filling patterns are in extra-large needlepoint format.
