Description: Title: Chinese Knotting: Creative Designs That are Easy and Fun!
Author: Lydia Chen
Publisher: Tuttle Publishing, 2003- text and images originally published in 1981
This is a definitive text on the ancient art of Chinese knotting. Aside from clear easy to follow instructions and diagrams, this book offers an in depth discussion on the history and cultural significances of knotting. Start out learning 11 basic knotting techniques, then advance to 14 more complex compound knots. Each knot is accompanied by step by step illustrated instruction, as well as a brief explanation about the meaning and significance of the knot. The final section presents 41 creative knotting projects from jewelry and accessories to home decor. Some of the styles may seem dated- especially since they are modeled with distinct 1980's fashions. However, as far as technique instruction and design ideas are concerned this book is probably one of the best for learning the fine art of classical Chinese knotting, and well worth owning.
