Review by: MandyApgar
This was nice
too. An older book, but that was part of its charm. Almost had a fit a
few weeks ago when I opened a newer folk art book that promised to show
readers how to gain "a primitive look with
modern materials." Although not the best organized, it is pretty
thorough. Chapters are divided by location of the media ("from the sheep
which graze on the earth") and although that does sound rather
melodramatic that's how things are. Just odd that say rugs
are in a different section than textiles, or that general needlework is
chapters away from quilts. But the selection of works is very well
presented (sometimes they're put kind of all over the page) and a nice
variety is shown. Wish something like this would
be made today, or more respected.
