Stitched Textiles: Nature

This title, a new addition to the successful theme-based Stitched Textiles series, contains a comprehensive materials and tools section, a guide to seeking inspiration for your own work, handy hints for preparing your fabric and useful tips and techniques for working in multiple media. There are also plenty of Stephanie Redfern's own inspirational pieces included in the book, featuring a variety of features of the natural world, from flora to fauna. There is an abundance of projects to emulate, beginning with the artist's books that Stephanie Redfern creates to collate her findings in the natural world, including bound books, concertina books and shaped books. Subsequent projects are broken down by theme, including: ocean, botany, birds, animals – wild and domestic, and finishing with templates for use in the reader's own stitched textile work. The natural world is ever-changing, and this book will appeal to any textile artist interested in capturing the world through their own eyes, in this particular media. Step by step demonstrations of a range of techniques make the process accessible and even more enjoyable, and Stephanie Redfern's passion for multi-media work will inspire the reader to cultivate a collection of found objects in nature, for use in future pieces. Aimed at the contemporary textile artist, this beautiful book is designed to inspire and encourage.
