More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The latest book from the bestselling author Kim Thittichai focuses on the range of ideas and techniques for layering your textiles. These layers can produce simple to extreme surfaces for stitch. Layering is a major feature of today's textile art, whether to create relief, colour, texture or dimension. The author takes you through a number of key materials - papers, synthetic and natural fabric, translucent materials, wires, paints and sprays - that can be incorporated into layered textiles. Various techniques are combined with these materials, from using heat guns, soldering irons and lazer cutting to machine and hand stitch to give the reader endless ideas for their own creative work. As always, the author has provided exercises for the creative process and the techniques but combined them with the work of the best textile artists around the world today. It provides the ultimate guide to the subject of layered textiles for readers looking to experiment with their own textile art.

I got this book as I'd just been working with heat tools at my City & Guilds course and I wanted to do some more work at home.It is filled with loads of fabulous ideas for layering up various fabrics/plastics/papers and attacking the resulting sandwich with heat guns or soldering irons. Lots of different artists feature, which is a nice idea. I'm going to really enjoy working my way through this.

This book is fantastic it covers all kinds of projects you can do with a heated gun. I would recommend this book to any one that wants to do something different but just needs that extra knowledge of things you can do, just step out side the box. Which I always find a bit difficult but with this book you can do it.

The front cover of the book is very tactile! Is just the beginning of a great book! The author gives simple instructions to her own projects, and introduces you to lots of textile artists and perhaps a range of techniques that you may not have tried. Took this book to class this week to show the others ...... more orders on the way I think. They are all lovely - but fussy bunch so it must be good! Enjoy
