Description from the seller
1.
Heraldry for Embroiderers, 1990, Vicky Lugg & John Willicocks. 128 p.
Heraldry has a long and romantic history, stretching back as far as the glorious Age of Chivalry. Heraldry can therefore be a rich source of inspiration for embroiderers and the authors show us how to incorporate heraldic motifs into embroidery without transgressing convention and how to use that convention as a basis for the development of a design.
2.
Heraldry for the Designer, 1970, William Metzig. 137 p.
Anthony Wood was critical of Metzig's approach to heraldic art, because he rejected the traditional approach.
3.
Heraldic Art and Design, 1996, Anthony Wood, 157 p.
