B3203. Embroidered Books: Design, Construction and Embellishment
B3203. Embroidered Books: Design, Construction and Embellishment by Isobel Hall. 2009. 128pp. 8.75"x11". Hardcover
This unique book's theme is using thread, stitches, and embroidery (by hand or with machine) to decorate books. The embroidery is used in conjunction with a variety of papers, fabrics, and a range of techniques to create pictorial or decorative effects. The book starts with a detailed section on sewing signatures. The first group of projects is for specific binding structures: posts/screws, Japanese side stitched, concertina (accordion), shaped books, carousel books, waterfall pages, and box books. The focus here is on the decoration, rather than the construction, of the book. The second group of projects presents decorative and illustrative techniques and materials: cocoon stripping, plaster of Paris, inkjet printing, glue sticks, metal relief foils, texture effects, marbling, working with waxes, using Grungeboard, using pulp papers. The author is British. Some of the materials mentioned in the book may, at first, be unknown to you because they have different names in the US and the UK. For example, grey board (UK) = chipboard (US).
