Although this book is in Swedish, ample photographs and precise drawings will illustrate the technique for those not understanding the language. This book demonstrates how to embroider leather handbags and jewelry, and how to braid fine strips of leather to make bracelets, and straps for handbags, and decorative hanging objects. There is a very attractive and contemporary Native American, Southwestern feel to these abstract patterns.
