Le Pompe, 1559: Patterns for Venetian Bobbin Lace,
By Gretchen Schneider (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Le Pompe, Fifteen Hundred Fifty-Nine: Patterns for Venetian Bobbin Lace (Paperback)
I love this book. If you know the basics about bobbin lace, this book is for you. The patterns are exquisite and historically accurate. The explanations of some of the patterns are very helpful for all but the extreme beginner (never worked with bobbin lace before). I highly recommend this book!

Renaissance Glamour,
This review is from: Le Pompe, Fifteen Hundred Fifty-Nine: Patterns for Venetian Bobbin Lace (Paperback)
This is a reprint of the earliest known manual of bobbin lace patterns, along with a brief discussion of lace and needlework instruction books of the period, and some patterns worked out from the woodcut illustrations of the book itsself. This is not a book for beginners to work from, but an excellent resource for moderately experienced bobbin lacers and anyone involved with historic costumes of the mid-sixteenth century. A wonderful book.
