Whether it's a landscape, a garden, an animal or a powerful memory
of a place or object, Jan shows you how she develops them all into
beautifully stitched representations that exude awe-inspiring
detail, colour and expression. Jan begins the creative process by
collecting and storing natural items and exploring different
patterns, texture, media and markings to cultivate her final
design. She uses simple yet effective methods for altering fabric
prior to stitching, including dyeing, embellishing and stamping,
then transforms her fabric into a vibrant, textured artwork using a
combination of traditional hand stitching, machine stitching, and
other media. Following a fascinating, illustrated step-by step
chapter on Jan's key techniques, join her as she takes you through
the stages of three types of work for which she is most renowned:
the stitched landscape, the memory cloth and the bird sculpture.
Each project also includes a break down of the materials, tools and
techniques used, so that you can understand as well as see the
development of her astounding, mixed-media creations. Throughout
the book, a gallery of Jan's work complements her techniques and
projects, providing inspiration for your own textile artwork. These
are stunning pieces that will open your eyes and turn your own
creative concepts into original, personal work.
