πŸ“˜ Talking textiles

"People have been creating and using textiles for thousands of years. This book shows how we make textiles, add colour and pattern to them, use them - for example in fashion and interior design - and finally recycle them. It explores the ways that different cultures have used textiles to tell stories, and invites children to work collaboratively on a large-scale textile work."--Evans.

From felt to fabric by 11477548|Catherine O'Leary book cover

πŸ“˜ From felt to fabric

The nuno technique involves felting wool fiber through sheer, loosely woven cloth so the wool fiber can migrate through the weave and become entangled on both sides of the fabric, thus creating a new kind of textile... [The author] explores principles like shape, color, and texture, examining how these concepts can make your nuno pieces as simple or complex as a painting or drawing. Includes a gallery of ideas for projects--P. [4] of cover.
