New Books & Texture Magic!
Thursday, October 15, 2009 Filed in:New
Now that fall is here (and how did THAT happen so
quickly?) it means NEW BOOKS! Here are a couple
goodies:
Experimental Textiles by Kim Thittichai
This book focuses on various extremely talented fiber artists, their inspiration and techniques. Not a how-to or project recipe book! The pieces shown include 2D, sculpture and even tassels.
Connecting Art To Stitch by Sandra Meech
Sandra Meech's books always take my breath away. So much color, technique and inspiration packed into 128 pages. Connecting Art to Stitch covers short exercises in different media and techniques, and also fifteen "Art Classes" which explore some of the subjects in more depth, such as sketching, working with acrylics, mixed-media approaches, painting on fabric, photography and image transfer.
Texture Magic
This is so easy to use:
1. Mark your stitching lines on the Texture Magic.
2. Pin the Texture Magic to the wrong side of your fabric.
3. Sew along marked lines.
4. Thoroughly steam with the Texure Magic side up (you can use your steam iron).
Done!
