Three-Dimensional Textiles with Coils, Loops, Knots and Nets

This is an important book for textile artists looking for new ways of working. It offers three-dimensional designs using the techniques of interweaving, looping, twining, knotting, netting, and coiling, in a variety of materials, from yarn to leather to plastic packing tape. Complete how-to illustrations and diagrams lead the way to constructing interesting textures and forms, and also introduce some innovative embellishments using distressed Tyvek, found objects, seed heads, metal tubes, and more. And these techniques are perfect for new crafters, as they don't require machinery or looms!
