The Intentional Thread
Schiffer Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-7643-5743-5 (ISBN)
Communicate your ideas using line, shape, color, and texture with this reference and how-to exploration in one. Whether your particular interest is pictorial, portraiture, abstract compositions, or actual text, you can “say” almost anything with thread.
More than 350 color photographs translate the techniques of drawing, painting, and good composition into the world of stitch, and “Try This!” projects inspire your own individual approaches.
Including the role of machine stitching, this design resource, learning tool, and inspirational reference helps practitioners at all levels, whether beginning student, dedicated amateur, or professional.
Take a lyrical—but logical—journey of skill building, and begin to stitch intentionally and express your creative vision.
“Many books deal with stitch types in a bland similar manner. Brandeis here incorporates suggestions within this book, such as how to use text in a thread way . . . merging handwriting with expression . . . in stitch!” --Ailish Henderson, Mr. XStitch Magazine
“Brandeis takes us on a journey into the expressive nature of stitch . . . reveals how to manipulate stitches much like an artist might a pencil or paintbrush.” --Embroidery Magazine
