Weaving Textiles That Shape Themselves
Author: Ann Richards
Publisher: The Crowood Press
ISBN: 071984360X
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 579
Book Description
Weaving Textiles That Shape Themselves sounds like a contradiction in terms, but this book sets out to show how textiles can do precisely that: shape themselves. Weaving with high-twist yarns and contrasting materials can create fabrics with lively textures and elastic properties. Although these fabrics are flat on the loom, they are transformed by washing - water releases the energy of the different yarns and the fabrics 'organize themselves' into crinkled or pleated textures.

Book Description
Despite it being 2015, Jack is stuck in the '80s. He takes pride in being an analog kind of a guy, not because he's trying to make some hip 'retro' statement, but because he doesn't trust Tech and doesn't need things like computers or cell phones. A small world is a world easy to control and affords a simple albeit mundane daily existence for him. Until the collision of two events; meeting Bloom, and receiving a strange costume from a no-name vendor. Jack's simple life is ripped apart, forcing him through an expanding labyrinth of darkness.

The Poem That Never Ends
Author: Silvina López Medin
Publisher: Essay Press
ISBN: 9781734498448
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Sparked by the only two letters--out of over a hundred-that López Medin's mother saved from her own mother in Paraguay, THE POEM THAT NEVER ENDS weaves together poems and family photos to explore the fragmentation of time, memory, and mother-child relationships. Fragments, family hearing impairments, ripped-up letters, and living and writing between languages point to the inescapable holes in language, troubling the notion of a finite utterance. Layering elements of painting, cinema, and the elusive three dimensions of theater into the weave, THE POEM THAT NEVER ENDS traces a sequence of mothers-López Medin's mother, her mother's mother, herself as a mother-in a porous, restless gesture toward what's never fully grasped.
