Riassunto

This hand-picked collection of classic nursery rhymes, all delicately and painstakingly illustrated by Salley Mavor, who is reknown for her incredibly detailed fabric and cloth scenes.

It took Mavor ten years to develop her own fabric relief technique to a level where she felt comfortable even considering illustrating a book. Now, Mavor embroiders and sews illustrations, each scene taking nearly a month to complete. In this book, Mavor renders a new and visionary nursery rhyme world with precision and intricacy for many a generation to treasure for years and years to come.

L'autore:

"Working in 3 dimensions was an exciting way to communicate my ideas," writes Salley Mavor.  "I never thought that the assemblages and experiments I presented for critique would ever turn into a workable illustration technique." Salley Mavor is an award-winning children's book illustrator and the owner of Wee Folk Studio. She lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Visit her website at www.weefolkstudio.com.
