Description
A gorgeous and inspirational book, showing how to create pictures with thread. Increasing numbers of textile artists and designers now use thread to draw with, on a wide range of mixed-media - including paper, flat fabric, manipulated fabric, various resistant materials including ceramics - experimenting with stencils and stitching, combining stitch with monoprinting, using both hand and machine stitch, and using everyday materials such as baking paper and newspaper to create one-off pieces. Packed with wonderful examples of work by contemporary makers, this book shows how to design and develop your own work using needlework, paper, print, sketching, and stitching.
A gorgeous book explaining the methods, materials and techniques that contemporary makers are using to create pictures using stitch, including seven projects to follow or use as starting points for your own creations. Filled with stunning and inspirational photographs.

Reviews
Lots of useful tips to help you think outside the box, and suggestions on how to record your experiments ... There are nine projects in all, but what is striking about them is that they are relatively simple designs, but look much more complex. The beauty of these is that the basic techniques have been combined really effectively, and there are instructions given on the inspiration, the preparation and execution of the pieces ... If you are reasonably confident in basic techniques, but want to experiment in a new arena, this would be an interesting book. * Workshop on the Web *
