Thank you!
For centuries, crafting has not only been a hobby, but a way of life for cultures around the world. From the early clay beads of aboriginal people to the intricate quilting designs of those in colder regions, crafts have not only enhanced a cultures history, but they have also served a valuable function within that society, serving to celebrate, commemorate, inspire and entrance.
Here
at Crafting Spot, we honor those traditions while forging ahead
with new ones. From decorative art to embroidery to
illuminating text, silver smithing, book binding, stamping, paper
crafts, painting, knitting, ornamental knots, jewelry and a whole
lot
more. We are dedicated to offering you instructional books on Handicrafts - Old and New.
If you are
interested in Art Nouveau style, checkout the Decorative Art page. You
will find instructions on obtaining the
1st chapter of one of my favorite instructional books on Decorative
Arts.
We have also recently added the book Illuminating by Marcus Ward, which is an instructional guide on learning how to Illuminate graphics and text like they did in many 1800's manuscripts.
You will also find Decorative Designs, which is chock full of different Decorative Graphics which are perfect for embellishing your current craft projects, including stenciling, floor cloth, greeting cards and much, much more
The
bottom line is Crafting Spot is for you.
Happy Crafting!!
