Review:
First printed more than ten years ago, "Victorian Crafts Revived", just republished in paperback, is as pertinent now as it was then. Covering a huge range of crafts it highlights the Victorian's artistry and design skills, demonstrating their enduring appeal over a hundred years later. Needlepoint, quilling, lacemaking, decoupage and more are all covered with advice on design, techniques and suggested projects. Attractively photographed in a "Victorian" setting, the objects would look just as much at home in a modern apartment as a period house. Floral decoupage boxes, beaded bottles and embroidered samplers embrace all levels of skill, making this an ideal "dip-into" book for someone unsure what to do with their "handy" hands. An exploration of the history of each craft adds interest too, making this a well-rounded look at these still popular Victorian handicrafts. - Lucy Watson
