Riassunto

Mixed Media goes graphic, minimal and sophisticated. Go beyond commercially available materials and get your hands dirty! Create your own modern substrates through Krista’s interactive project-based sewing workshops. Readers will stitch up 18 designer projects while experimenting with ways to stamp, print, paint, dye, and embellish fabrics to use for unique projects to gift and keep.

Beyond Cotton will take modern crafters and sewists beyond the world of commercially available fabrics by encouraging readers to work with different, but readily available materials like leather, rivets, and industrial-grade felt. Create a Leather Cuff in three ways: Stitched, Carved or Stamped; learn to create design repeats; set up a home printing table and experiment with dyeing fabrics. Krista encourages readers to break out of what is offered and to take ownership of their work from start to finish. This book is packed with skill-building techniques and crafty inspiration!

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Krista Fleckenstein lives in Anchorage, Alaska with her husband and four children. Her childhood was spent doodling, colour sorting, and taking as many art classes as she could manage. As the daughter of a quilter, she grew up influenced by piles of fabric and the hum of a sewing machine. It wasn't until she had children that she started making her own quilts. She started her blog, Spotted Stones, in 2010 and since then she has quilted, sewn, printed, and painted her way into a creative life that she loves. Krista's inspiration comes largely from the colors and patterns of Alaskan nature. She believes that doing your own thing (and making a lot of mistakes in the process) is what being creative is all about. Krista's patterns can be found in 101 Patchwork Projects + Quilts, Craft Tree: Table Toppers, Modern Patchwork Magazine, Modern Blocks, and Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe. You can follow her on her website, www.spottedstones.com.
