Product Description
Product Description
The step-by-step instructions in "Layered, Tattered and Stitched" show readers how easy it is to create fabric-art with incredible depth and personal significance. Throughout the book, the author uses a mixture of atypical sewing techniques such as trapping found objects between layers, stitching and quilting paper and creating doors and windows in fabric along with mixed-media techniques that include transferring photos and collaging media onto fabric and more. Readers are encouraged to expand their own creative processes, using such things as poetry and symbolic objects for inspiration.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
At first sight this book seems to be bursting with interesting stitching projects. If you are a novice to stitching you might need to spend a couple of hundred pounds buying the right tools and materials to tackle most of them. Ruth Rae uses specially etched stamps; paints, dyes and inks; shaped punches; tapestry & beading needles; quilting threads; quilting machine needles; round nose pliers; wire of various gauges in brass, copper, steel; sheet metal; plexiglass; heat gun; electric drill; and a sewing machine.
The projects are exciting and very different to other textile art books. They range from simple gift cards using scraps of fabric, to a wall hanging that only an experienced quilter would tackle as it incorporates wood, beads, sheet metal, the dyeing of cloth and a metal punch. It is a beautifully illustrated book showing off the artist's talent, and I love leafing through it for ideas. It is a book for the experienced stitcher, crafter or textile artist.

This book is simply lovely, with a slightly quirky style. The photographs are clear and inspiring. The projects are clearly explained and show you the techniques in order to inspire your own work. Lots of ideas to combine mixed media within textiles projects, I loved it.

This is not as inspiring as I hoped it would be. The precise details for projects would suit someone wanting to merely copy the author's work. Read more
