Fibreart Montage showcases stunning, full-color photographs of the newest mixed-media technique, a unique blend of photography, watercolors, pen and ink illustrations, and needlework design, created by, an internationally renowned artist, whose life speaks through her beautiful fantasy landscape and seascape crazy quilts. The montage technique is more than the
sum of its parts - more than quilting, more
than embellishment. Starting with a computer-manipulated photograph, Judith combines grafted patterns, crazy quilting, manipulated fabrics, embellishments, dyeing and embroidery techniques. First a bit of history, then Judith gently guides her readers through every step of the creative process and inspires them to a new level of personal expression. Readers will enjoy thumbing through the
200+ pages of this highly readable and
visually exciting book. And yes, they too
can create a one-of-a-kind fiber masterpiece. For a limited time, Judith is autographing copies of Fibreart Montage, you can order it from her website.
