DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Amazon Customer beautiful!. "Worth getting" according to Shirley Goodwin. Print, Pattern & ColourI have quite a few books on surface design, dyeing and so on, but found this book well worth buying, unlike the previous reviewer. After all, how many NEW techniques are there? The photos are sumptuous and eyecatching, techniques are well-summarised, and there were ideas in there that I haven't tried before. A good buy as far as I'm concerned.. "Print, Pattern and Colour" according to M. Hagbo. Excellent overview of various print methods as well as visual stimulusto create your own designs.
From one of the UK’s leading textile artists and author of Colour on Cloth and Glorious Papers comes a glorious celebration of the limitless potential of printing and repeat patterns on fabric. Aimed at fiber artists and designers, it is packed with imaginative techniques for a wide range of print methods and media. Mono-printing using sponges, rollers, and textured surfaces; screen-printing, including the use of photo-sensitive screens; using thickened dyes; developing ideas on paper; combining print with stitch and fabric manipulation; and incorporating metallic and pearlescent paints: it’s all here, with gorgeous color photographs to illustrate every idea.
