Review: "The book covers the original source material, from African landscape and natural forms to jewellery and textiles; the design process, including colour studies, the use of sketchbooks, collage and drawing; the various techniques necessary to produce stunning final pieces, including dyeing with flour-paste resist, seminole patchwork, piecing, patching, stitching, applique, drawn thread, surface embellishment and mixed media. Case studies by leading textile artists provide further examples of the concept and design process through to the finished textile pieces."--BOOK JACKET.
