Silk Unraveled Experiments in Tearing, Fusing, Layering & Stitching

Silk Unraveled Experiments in Tearing, Fusing, Layering & Stitching by Lorna Moffat, published by Dragon Threads in 2008.

Turning the traditional use of silk on its head, this book examines techniques for creating fabulous textural surfaces and blankets of patterns. Based on mainstream embroidery and covering deconstruction and reconstruction of fabric, appliqué, and reverse appliqué--all with a contemporary twist--the methodology calls for the manipulation of fabrics with techniques such as ripping silk into strips and fusing and layering it onto other pieces leaving unfinished edges and raveled threads.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves fashion and style.
