COLOR CEMENT HANDICRAFT by PEDRO J. LEMOS. An extensively illustrated book originally published in 1922. FOREWORD: IT IS EVIDENT to the most casual observer that the use oi -* cement and concrete has developed into a most important building material undoubtedly the most important of the age. Industrial and vocational educators have recognized this importance and thousands of school children have received instruction in its use and application to objects of utility. Its use has been the subject of many books, and the reason for the issuing of this book is to present in printed form the use of color cement for the decoration or surface enrichment of cement and concrete objects. We heretofore have thought of cement in terms of rough surfaces and crude retaining walls, little thinking that beautiful patterns and textures are possible with proper combinations of color with cement, presenting possi bilities for producing art tiles, pottery, and decorations of a high art quality. After a study some years ago of the various forms of producing clay pottery and its possible relation to school arts and industrial education, the handicap of necessary firing to give permanency loomed large against its general adaptation by schools. This resulted in considerable research and experimenting by the authors with cement and the use of color in the endeavor to parallel in some measure each of the methods employed in the making of fired tiles and pottery.

Some of these will be familiar to Needle-artists: others will serve to exemplify how, in process of working, fresh stitches may be evolved from old ones or how, when originality gains ground, entirely new stitches become apparent and workable.Keywords: Embroidery Stitches New Stitches Art Embroidery Needle Artists Needlecraft Originality Exposition Exemplify
