Birds and Animals in Honiton Lace - Saikoh Takano

Publisher : Batsford Ltd; 1st Edition (5 Sept. 1992)
ISBN-10 : 0713463163
ISBN-13 : 978-0713463163
Birds and Animals in Honiton Lace by Saikoh Takano
With clear black and white photography throughout showing both the wrong and right side of the lace, this book is easy to follow for someone who already understands the basics of Honiton.

Simple working diagrams are also included.

For someone interested in learning Honiton then I would recommend the Lace Guild's An Honiton: Basic Technical Instruction Book or Suzanne Thompson's An Introduction to Honiton Lace as a starting point.
Picture
What works well?
  • For lacemakers, the bee is a common symbol for industry.  This book has a Honiton pattern for a bee.
  • The black and white and colour photos of the braids are exceptionally well taken so that they boost the understanding of the patterns included.  
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • This book is currently out of print, but is often available on from online booksellers and occasionally on eBay

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 300 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
