The Fiberarts Book of Wearable Art

Summary: glorious!
Review: For anyone who loves color, fabric or handcrafts, this book is like receiving a box of very fine chocolates. There are luscious, colorful and beautifully-textured pieces on every page to inspire your heart and hands. The artists' statements are much more interesting than in many books of this kind, offering interesting glimpses into the various artists' design processes, spiritualities, motivations, working practices and technical approaches. The photographs are clear, evocative and artful, and the graphic design is excellent. This book would be a very good resource--as a visual technique library or source of inspiration--for anyone who enjoys design, handcrafts, color or fiber. Excellent.

Summary: A gift for yourself!
Review: I first ordered this book as a gift to myself after reading about it in "Threads Magazine". It has indeed been a gift I will use. The designs in this book are from 40 of America's top Wearable artists who share their insiders' secrets with the reader and give the directions to create your own masterpiece. There are many beautiful items in this book that I intend to make, or rather adapt from. I rarely like following someone's specific patterns when creating my wearable art, but I love to see new and exciting techniques and styles. I feel this book gives you some wonderful tools and suggestions. After all wearable art is something one of a kind that no one else could create but you! Buy this book and expand your own horizons!

Summary: It's a nice book. . .
Review: Well done and photographed. But it's not a "sewing" book. I was looking for something with new sewing projects, but this was more a coffee table picture book. I'm not as much into embellishments.
