About this title

About the Author:

Ellen Anne Eddy is an internationally known fiber artist whose wall art goes beyond the traditional concept of quilting. Fish, bugs, birds, and frogs are found throughout her art, blending her dreams and vision with the natural world. She uses hand-dyed fabrics, lames, machine embroidery, cut-away applique, and layered sheers to create the illusion of flames, water, and mist in her work.

From Library Journal:

Eddy's world is a magical place where creatures of the jungle, water, and forest come to life in the thread, yarn, and hand-dyed fabric employed by the artist to create the illusion of watery worlds and misty forests. This book is at once a gallery of Eddy's work and a "how-to" manual describing the techniques she uses for drawing, designing, and embroidering. Recommended for large public and academic textile collections.
