Description :
A guide to harnessing the world of nature to create sustainable textile
art.Textile artist Alice Fox shows how to work with found, foraged, gathered
and grown materials to create fabulous textile pieces that are inspired by, and
made from, nature. She encourages crafters to be open minded and
experimental, using local (and sometimes) unconventional materials, working
with the seasons and learning what materials are available at different times of
year to ground artists in natural cycles and integrate creative activity with a
strong sense of place and character.Alongside advice on growing your own
plants (such as flax or nettles) for creative work, the book is packed with
practical ideas for foraging from weeds, dandelions and other plants useful for
making cordage, or leaves that can be stitched, quilted and shaped into
vessels, to grass, wool, plastics and mud that can be gathered and delightfully
repurposed by the textile artist. Other ideas for found materials include stones,
shells and wood that can be wrapped or woven into, as well as a multitude of
urban treasures that find a new life in creative hands.
