Product Description
The world is three-dimensional?why not embroidery? Creating three-dimensional embroidery for use on clothing and as unique accessories, or simply as stunning artwork, has become one of the hottest trends in the textile arts. The complete design and construction process is detailed here?from the initial drawing board sketch to the finished bags, boxes, or other artwork?with all the various stitches and steps illustrated in 90 color photographs. The instructions cover everything from the basics of creating raised geometric shapes to advanced freeform work and tucking, folding and coiling fabric to adding beads and other personalized touches, as well as multiple joinery techniques and a range of clever finishing methods.

A good resource for 3-D fabric techniques December 29, 2008
This book concentrates on techniques of fabric manipulation to create three-dimensional objects. (This is not "embroidery" as most Americans tend to think of it -- forget cross stitch and lazy daisies!) Edmonds discusses topics such as coiling, pleating, armatures, and beads (as a building component, rather than embellishment). As an self-taught artist, I appreciate books that show me techniques (instead of planned "projects"), and provide further inspiration. I'll keep coming back to this book.

Loved every page. Inspirational art works beautifully illustrated with detailed desriptions and instructions that are easy to understand. Highly recommended for anyone seriously persuing their own art and needs to find other or new ways of expression.

This is a gorgeous book with wonderful ideas, most of which you will probably never use. If you have not tried manipulating fabric with machine embroidery and disolvable stabilizers, then this book will probably open your eyes and get your mind wandering in all sorts of new directions. If you are not an aspiring fiber artist with lots of free time to experiment, then this book probably has little practical use.

Generally an excellent book, with some different ideas as well as some different approaches to old ideas. I think because of the British source, the shown works seem different in style than what I appreciate, however, the techniques are still viable....Photography inhances some rather ordinary pieces..Not as pleased with the book as anticipated, but enough so that I am wildly buying fabric and creating works of art....What does that say?
