This is a 122 page softback in new condition. I should state from the outset that the text is in French. However, the technique illustrations are so clear, that English or other language speakers should not find that a problem.

This book is replete with lovely projects, all achievable.

One of my favourite white-work techniques is Casalguidi - from Tuscany in Italy - which incorporates raised elements in its decoration.

Below you can see an example page of instructions and judge how comprehensive and clear they are.
