The Cumulative Cloth, Wet Techniques: A Guide To Fabric Color, Pattern, Construction, And Embellishment

A comprehensive how-to reference that teaches wet and dry textile surface design techniques for making custom cloth. Learn surface design for textiles, to create rich and personally expressive fabric surfaces. Projects by expert Susan Brandeis (author of the bestselling The Intentional Thread) helps novices and experienced professionals experiment with each method. * In part 1, wet techniques: application and layering of textile dyes, pigments, and chemicals to add color, pattern, and images * In part 2, dry techniques: how to combine these handmade fabrics (or store-bought fabrics) using cutting, piecing, layering, building, and embellishing * What's the "Cumulative Cloth"? A single cloth that readers add to with each chapter's techniques, eventually creating a piece of art. * Serves as a go-to reference to check technical procedures and safety guidelines (many methods and ingredients require caution) * Praise for the author's previous book: "Brandeis takes us on a journey into the expressive nature of stitch . . . reveals how to manipulate stitches much like an artist might a pencil or paintbrush." --Embroidery Magazine 9780764366901 0764366904 0 BOOK Crafts & Hobbies NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=FwC6zwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
