Fabric Art Collage
Rebekah Meier© Lydia Lowe 6/13/2012
If you’ve always wanted to create with collage but prefer
working with fabric and fibers rather than paper, this is the book for you.
The book covers a wide variety of information: tools and
supplies (embossing powders aren’t just for paper), painting and stamping
(melted crayons on muslin and how to clean the iron afterwards), creating base
materials (paper and fabric combo’s), texture (needle felting), embellishments (paper
beads), fibers and embroidery (plus size inchies?), hot tools (dryer sheets as
a design tool), distressing (coffee and tea spills can be a good thing), and
assembling the layers. These are just a few of the more unique things that I
found and is a fraction of the possibilities that are available for creating
fabric art collages.
I thought the book was a little light on project ideas. But the
author did have a lot of information to cover regarding the tools and supplies
that are available. For additional project ideas, I would recommend Rebekah
Meier’s second book, More Fabric Art
Collage. The two books go hand in hand.
