Celtic, Medieval and Tudor Wall Hangings in 1/12 Scale Needlepoint
Makers of doll house textiles often have problems doing  authentic detail in the 1/12 scale needed to fit. Both of these  books address this concern, providing accessories 8" on a side  or smaller charted for needlepoint at 24 stitches to the inch.  The McNaughtons' work, a sequel to their Making Miniature  Oriental Rugs & Carpets, has a new selection of tiny rugs with  fantastic detail. There appears to be no simplification of  design from the full-size originals. Whitehead's wall hangings  are original designs based on historic motifs. Both books are  charted in full color, with the Whitehead book having additional  black-and-white charts. The oriental rug charts are keyed to  Appleton's crewel wool, and the wall hangings are keyed to DMC  and Anchor cotton floss. Both books are excellent additions to  collections catering to miniaturists and needleworkers.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
