Inspired by this technique, Homberg has developed the process of creating faux chenille. Here she details both her successes and failures, strongly recommending the creation of a sample block before committing to a project as the combination of unrelated colors and textures will greatly affects the results. Homberg offers directions for creating unique wearable art and wall hangings, along with the basic steps of layering, stitching, and laundering. Beginner techniques with expert adventurous artistic results; a nice addition to most collections.?JYL Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. |
