Magic Carpets features 30 original rug designs, with full instructions on how to make them and simple colour graphs to follow. Specially created for the book, the rugs cover a wide range of both traditional and modern rug and carpet designs, and are all simple to make. The rugs can be used traditionally on the floor, hung on the wall, or draped over furniture, but all will add richness to any room.
The basic techniques of latch hooking are described at the beginning of the book, together with hints and tips on finishing, reading a chart and designing your own rug. Instructions are also given for working rugs in needlepoint using cross stitch or continental stitch.
The book is divided into sections according to the themes of the rug designs:
�
National Pride: rugs expressing the traditional designs of different nations, including Indian, Egyptian and Aztec patterns.
�
Outside In: designs based on themes from nature - flowers, fruit, leaves and birds.
�
Art School: designs loosely based on the works of famous artists.
�
Designs for Living: rugs featuring cartoon characters and other fun ideas.
�
On Form: rugs with shapes that make a statement.
�
Style Revival: carpets with Art Nouveau, Art Deco and 1950s' designs.
The attractive and original rug designs in this book, together with the superb colour photographs, make Magic Carpets an inspiration both to experienced rug makers and to newcomers to this exciting craft.
