Synopsis:
One of the world’s leading textile artists provides inspiration and techniques for incorporating found objects into your work.
Cas Holmes is renowned for her use of the found object, and her many-layered, atmospheric pieces have been exhibited internationally. In this illuminating volume, she explains how to go about obtaining these items, how to work with them, and how to create surfaces. See how to do mark-making with nontraditional coloring media such as beetroot; knead paper, in a process known as momigami; stitch fabric to form three-dimensional shapes; turn mundane items like bottle caps into brooches; and add meaning to your art by incorporating personal memorabilia. Suggested projects range from simple journals to unusual frames, and you’ll find a wealth of techniques and inspiration, all illustrated with examples from the world’s best textile art.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Textile artists have always used found objects, both for decoration and to imbue their work with meaning. Cas Holmes is renowned for her use of the found, and her many-layered, atmospheric pieces have been shown around the world. The practice differs from recycling in that the objects often remain themselves when they are incorporated into the work, rather than being transformed into something else and their original appearance being obliterated. The work is often conceived and built around the found object. The definition found object can include a wide range of objects, from natural materials such as driftwood and leaves to old bits of machinery and vintage fabrics. Mundane objects such as CD cases can be used to create stunning pieces of art, or more sentimental items such as old jewellery can lend deep meaning to a work. The book covers: How to find objects: for example in the home, walking the streets, travel souvenirs Types of found object: including natural objects, man-made items, printed ephemera Using found objects: using little jewels to decorate work, making unusual frames, creating work within boxes Creating surfaces with found objects: printing, layering, fusing, cutting and stitch This book contains a wealth of techniques and inspiration for incorporating found objects into your textile work. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004741782
