Really interesting book, with nice images. As someone who is a novice to weaving but has an interest in learning more this book was really inspiring. It explored the art through both craft and technical details. ( )Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . I received this book through LibrAryThing Early Review program in exchange for a review. It is beautifully Illustrated story of an artist’s development in tapestry weaving. Full of inspiration and ideas, it is not however a how to book on weaving. There is a clear explanation of very basic tapestry technique as an appendix, but it is more useful to understand the process than as an actual how to. Wonderful to just page through and enjoy, but very readable text as well. Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . I found "The Nature of Things: Essays of a Tapestry Weaver" to be part memoir and part craft book and a look at a life dedicated to the craft of weaving. There were weaving instructions in the back if the reader was included to join in. It was interesting to see how the author used her artist’s eye to translate the nature around her into art and finally into a template for her craft.Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . ER program: As a quilter, I relate to these essays, appreciate the color photography, and empathize with the author as she discusses artistic inspiration, gaining skills, and the quiet meditation of working alone in pursuit of one's art. Color, pattern, texture, skill, and the creative process are themes common to fiber arts. I will come back to this lovely volume again. Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . This is a nice memoir from a tapestry weaver. Would be of interest to anyone who likes fiber arts/crafts. Includes beautiful color photography throughout, and the author takes some time to talk about the artistic inspiration for her work in general and behind a few of her key pieces. An appendix at the end includes some basics about how to start weaving and a list of further resources. Nicely done, would recommend. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"The Nature of Things weaves together a life full of happiness and sorrow. In these fourteen collected essays, Tommye McClure Scanlin reflects on her artistic journey and how crafting and life are interwoven, two threads that comprise a larger picture. Readers will find themselves lost in Scanlin's full-color tapestries and comforting writing style as they explore the natural fields and woods of southern Appalachia. A final part of the book gives an overview of tapestry weaving basics with diagrams and descriptions for setting up a simple pipe loom and weaving a small tapestry sampler. Glossary, simple pipe loom illustrations, and a resource list are included for reference." -- Amazon.com No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
