Description: Beautiful Braiding by Dorothy Parks Putnam printer first in the 1960s and reprinted in 1988 is a must for new braiders and a great help to experienced ones. This is a lovely craft book covering all aspects of rug braiding, with 20 lovely color photographs of rugs in room settings and 47 helpful black and white figures, such as illustrations of steps in how to braid. Rugs are shown with instructions for making each one, including colors for each row given. Rugs have evocative names like Welcome, Cheer, Heritage, Countryside and Sunset Splendor. This is a new book never sold or used, from the author so the condition is new. This is a revised edition, the 11th printing, of the original edition from 1960. Other copies are available. The companion book by this author, Beautiful Butting, is also included. It is in black & white, with step-by-step instructions and accompanying photos showing how to eliminate abrupt color changes of braids by hiding the ends and rat-tailing. This makes for a more uniform, professional appearance and is unmistakable when not used. Both books are excellent resources for learning to braid rugs including sample color combinations for designing beautiful, harmonious rugs that will be a lasting legacy.
