I don't have that URL at my figertips either. The book does have two "sculptural" flowers but the rest are borders or insertions - just incredibly gorgeous things!! It's in French but the diagrams look pretty good for non-French readers like me. The variety is amazing and the combinations seem endless.
There are some great new booklets on macrame (mostly in Italian), with gorgeous lacy edgings and sometimes medallions. I've been looking into this since the mid-90s, when I saw an amulet bag in macrame, made with (probably 8 or 12) pearl cotton. Then there's the book that will soon (I hope!) be published by Marji Suhm on Greek fingerlace. It's a Greek version of macrame-type lace. Robin Robin P.
