Description

HOOKED RUGS: AN AMERICAN FOLK ART By Leslie Linsley - Hardcover *Mint Condition*. "Hooked Rugs: An American Folk Art" by Leslie Linsley is a beautifully illustrated hardcover book published by Crown Publishing Group, T.H.E. in 1992. Of all the indigenous American folk arts, few have greater charm or a more enduring appeal than the hooked rug. From stylish geometric patterns to endearingly naive designs of animals or plant life and fancifully colored abstracts, the hooked rug can provide a vivid canvas for nearly any style or subject. Leslie Linsley, one of American's foremost experts on handcrafts, has collected more than 150 superb examples of hooked rugs and combined them with 10 scale patterns for reproducing the designs. She also provides easy-to-follow instructions for making hooked rugs, plus helpful advice for mounting, cleaning, and storing hooked pieces.
