Resources for Reticella

These are some resources for learning reticella/reticello.

BOOKS

Guida al ricamo reticello e merlatto venziano  "A great book with wonderfully clear photros of each stage of the work."

 

Giuliana Buonpadre: "Gli Andichi  Il Reticello" published in 2005. Jenny says:

Her books only seem to be available through her. Check out her web pages at

http://www.filofilo.it/eng/index.php   Go to the books tab, then right down the bottom she gives info on prices & how to obtain them.

 

Virginia Bonfiglioli Chiavegato:  Punto in Àere, Antico Merletto ad ago di Bologna.  Publ by  RE Enzo Editrice, 2003. pages: 120.  Language: Italian

Carmelina says: It's totally ilustrated, with patterns from beginners to experts. She gives indications about fix the lace to the fabric. The graphics are big with very clear instructions (if you speak italian, I've been translating them to spanish). The patterns have numeration for the execution. The graphics are done by Sergio Chiavegato and seem engineering work: perfect.  The photos are lovely with precious examples of reticello and punto in àere. I have no doubt that it's a very useful book.

 

Ricci, Elisa. Old Italian Lace, Vol. 1 part 5 has photos of some reticello samplers with a variety of motifs that could be copied.

Devon says: "look for Ostaus, Parasole and Vinciolo to find scanned copies of 19th century reprints of the original 17th and 16th century pattern books which feature reticello and punto in aria designs of unquestionable authenticity."

 

Laura Marzorati: Guida al ricamo Reticello e merletto veneziano, and Guida al ricamo Reticello Liberty

 

Paola Barbieri, Il Reticello interpretato da Paola Barbieri, published by the Associazione Il Punto Antico. You can purchase directly from the Edizioni Il Punto Antico website with PayPal or a credit card. You can request a French or English insert when you order.

There are step-by-step photos, good diagrams, works in progress, 11 different delicious projects, many filling stitches. (Review taken from Italian Needlework website by Jeanine in Canada.)

 

ONLINE SOURCES FOR PATTERNS:

http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books.html  Look for Dillmont, C.M. Ricci and Hardouin, which have some patterns for simple and complex geometric lace motifs.

Hardouin ALBUM DE DENTELLE DE VENISE.  Part 1 is geometric, part 2 curvilinear

Ricci, Cleofe Mingarelli DISEGNI DI TRAFORI

Novo, Giardineto. Punti Tagliati [Cutwork], Matthio Pagan, 1550 

Dillmont, Thérèse de. Needle-Made Laces; 1st Series, D.M.C, 1900. Part 1 is geometric laces.

(The Needlemade Laces of Reticella"  by  J. and K. Kliot is a reprint of the last item, part 1 of Dillmont's NEEDLE MADE LACES)

 

WEBSITES AND ONLINE TUTORIALS: 

http://www.bayrose.org/AandS/handouts/reticella_rev.pdf  Has 1 relatively simple design for practice near the end.  This one starts with woven fabric.

http://wkneedle.bayrose.org/needlelace-reticella.html  This one has a different pattern, and is worked in the needle lace manner (fabric is only a temporary scaffold).

http://www.lastanzadeglihobby.it/retic_cuscino.htm  A photo of a sampler of fillings made into a pillow.  Enlargements show enough detail that they could be copied easily.

Here is a painting in the Cleveland Museum of Art, "Portrait of a Woman" by Cornelis Janssen van Ceulen, painted in 1619.  (Peg Witchy Woman) found it and posted the link on arachne.  The painting is so realistic you could actually copy the pattern and make the lace.  Look here.   Be sure to click if you see a tiny image of a magnifier.  The full size version of the image is just amazing.

Elizabeth:

I've found that I have to tack down the fabric as well as the warp and weft threads that will be the pattern parts.  Until I did that, I had non-square squares.  Once I figured that part out, I started having lace that looked like the patterns.

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on March 4, 2013 at 6:49pm

I work my needlelace in the hand on a pad.

When working reticella within fabric (the original way!) do you still just work in the hand, or do you tack the withdrawn fabric to a pad so you keep the open squares a regular shape?  - Or is it all a matter of tensioning correctly?

I am going to try working with the fabric base, but I can see my squares ending up being any shape but square!!!!!!!

Comment by Jenny on February 27, 2013 at 8:03pm

Yummo! Thanks Lorelei for sharing. I agree with Liz that is more drawn & Teneriffe in style. Whatever they call it it is just fabulous & certainly inspiring.

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on February 27, 2013 at 6:20pm

What a lot of interesting lace on that site. though it looks more Teneriffe/Sol type within fabric - drawn thread sol lace!!  Ne4ver heard of that, but that is more the impression I get.  Whatever it is called - it looks Very nice. thanks for the link.
