FA: Design in Fabric and Thread by Aileen Murray, 1969 HB
Design in Fabric and Thread
by Aileen Murray Fabrics and threads provide a wonderfully varied and exciting range of colors and textures with which to experiment. Fabric collages may be simply and easily made in a few hours, or may be developed with the richer detail of embroidery, including the use of string, beads, raffia, seeds, etc. This book describes the very wide range of materials available and suggests many ways in which they can be used to produce designs in collage and embroidery. The author discusses sources of inspiration, ways of beginning a design and possible further developments, including stitchery by hand or machine, and describes how to mount or frame the finished work. The different methods and experiments described are fully illustrated with color and B&W photos which provide a further source of ideas and indicate the enormous variety of approach and treatment possible with these materials. Watson-Guptil Publications, New York, 1969, 104 pages, 4 ¾” x 7 ½”, glossy decorated boards, no dust jacket, illustrated. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=4521486188 Auction closes 1/27/05. |
