Fragile Fabrics & Constructions, by Jan Beaney & Jean Littlejohn
Monday, February 08, 2010 Filed in:New
Today's spotlight is on the two new books by the
Double Trouble team of Jan Beaney & Jean
Littlejohn.
This is very much a continuation of where Vanishing Act left off, in that it works with soluble film. But it also brings in other materials, such as sheers and even felt to make the fragile, etherial fabrics. Materials referenced include Lutradur, chiffon scarves, scrim, soluble stabilizers and fusible web. There's a nice question and answer section, too.
Constructions is about structure, pattern, detail, texture...About how to see a composition in a photo or through a cardboard frame or a window, or.... I'm really liking this one! Materials and techniques include foils, Lutradur, embellisher machine, fusible web, chiffon scarves, scrim, soluble film, pintucks, heat distressing, discharge.
