Straw marquetry is a very old technique. It was used a lot in the 17th and 18th century, especially to decorate boxes and other utilitarian objects, but also to create paintings and wall panels. Then she fell into oblivion. A renewed interest emerged in the 1930s thanks to great decorative artists. The author chose to apply straw marquetry to the framing, which explains the large number of friezes explained in this book, which you can of course also apply to cardboard, furniture decoration, etc. The method is simple and clearly explained. Many tips are offered in order to acquire greater speed in executing patterns. The technique is thus acquired very quickly to leave room for imagination and creation. Passionate about the decorative arts, Anne-Marie Choain-Degand loves patterns and geometric figures. Her eye is always attracted by an ornamental detail or a juxtaposition of colors. She found in working with straw the possibility of bringing her fantasies to life.
