This gorgeous guide uses 326 works from around the world, arranged by 13 simple "four-letter" weaving words--from "size" to "yarn" to "woad"--to help weavers and others see how each one affects the finished tapestry.
Featuring 326 intriguing tapestries from around the world, many not viewable elsewhere, this guide does not teach you how to weave. Instead, it shows you the wide range of results possible from 13 of the most basic weaving concepts.
It solves a common understanding gap for weavers, who are mostly educated in techniques, but not in what results each one enables you to weave.
This book's unexpected, entertaining new way to look at the simple language of tapestry has surprising results. Seeing tapestries more clearly and understanding what you see is just the start. Weavers will find an immense range of techniques they can play with, themes they can pursue, and much to inspire them.
