Book excerpt: This isn't your summer camp string art! String art is making a comeback with seemingly endless new designs, and author Jesse Drebach's modern, more flexible approach lets you methodically string away to your heart's content. This book is full of patterns--simple to more intricate designs--that help you quickly get to the fun part of the craft--the stringing! Jesse walks you through his tool room, and even includes tips on cutting and preparing the right size boards. He shares how to structure the nails using paper patterns and details several stringing techniques. DIY String Art includes simple geometrics, nature-inspired motifs worked on tree slices, zodiac signs, and even patterns for negative space string art where you fill in the entire board everywhere but inside the chosen motif. These are cool, urban designs, some with random string work, some with faceted sections and still others with specific string paths to achieve more uniform results, and they look amazing no matter where you hang them. Jesse's double-wrap technique lets you add pronounced details and even create a string frame--he's thought of, basically, everything you need to know to string a gallery of modern art!

However, without the proper numbered point patterns, it can be almost impossible to recreate. No longer thanks to String Art Magic. With 20 fun and simple projects, author Rain Blanken brings back the art of geometric dreamscapes crafted in string, nails, and parabolic curves.

With Blanken's engaging style and easy-to-follow guidance, any crafter can learn the secrets to creating intricate geometric string art while discovering how easy it is to follow these patterns. An expert string artist who discovered the craft as a child, Blanken presents patterns of increasing difficulty to help crafters obtain an understanding of how the geometry behind each design works. By the end of String Art Magic, crafters new to the world of string art will have not only completed some amazing and beautiful art to proudly display, but will also be able to customize designs to create their very own string art patterns.

Book excerpt: You don't have to be a math wiz or even good at geometry to learn how to draw fractals, spirals, and tori. This book shows you how. Beautifully illustrated cover-to-cover with over a hundred full-color pictures and 800+ drawings. We begin with an infinitely small point, where all emanates. The most basic form of expansion from this origin is a circle. When dividing this simple shape equally and connecting these points continuously beautiful patterns emerge. As it turns out, it's possible to draw the resulting geometry with a single line starting and ending at the same point. From this concept we create Mandala String Art. Tibetan Buddhists define Mandala as "an integrated structure organized around a unifying center". The word itself is ancient Sanskrit synonymous with 'circle'. This is the language of Sacred Geometry. Starting with a dot and expanding to a circle, creating the Circumpunct, then dividing equally and connecting these new points we create the symbols of ancient religion and philosophy. "Geometry provided God with a model for the Creation" - Johannes Kepler Pythagoreans used the circled dot to represent the first metaphysical being, the Monad (or The Absolute) and in Neoplatonism the universe emanated from this (The One), also named Bindu, "the sacred symbol of the cosmos in its unmanifested state".

Book excerpt: String, Felt, Thread presents an unconventional history of the American art world, chronicling the advance of thread, rope, string, felt, and fabric from the "low" world of craft to the "high" world of art in the 1960s and 1970s and the emergence today of a craft counterculture. In this full-color illustrated volume, Elissa Auther discusses the work of American artists using fiber, considering provocative questions of material, process, and intention that bridge the art-craft divide. Drawn to the aesthetic possibilities and symbolic power of fiber, the artists whose work is explored here-Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, Claire Zeisler, Miriam Schapiro, Faith Ringgold, and others-experimented with materials that previously had been dismissed for their associations with the merely decorative, with "arts and crafts," and with "women's work." In analyzing this shift and these exceptional artists' works, Auther engages far-reaching debates in the art world: What accounts for the distinction between art and craft? Who assigns value to these categories, and who polices the boundaries distinguishing them? String, Felt, Thread not only illuminates the centrality of fiber to contemporary artistic practice but also uncovers the social dynamics-including the roles of race and gender-that determine how art has historically been defined and valued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiment with stitch, fabric and thread to create your own unique textiles. This inventive book is a treasure trove of over 40 inspiring practical exercises, a rich and creative exploration of fabric and stitch, and a fascinating all-round read. Elizabeth Healey's approach to sewing is that it should be fun, and not like a chore or an exam we need to excel in. Her aim is to simply encourage you to pick up a needle and thread and get sewing! The exercises draw inspiration from around the world: create corded works of art inspired by Milton Glaser's iconic Bob Dylan poster; create bold embroidered African masks; layer up and cut away to create Mola applique; use bleach and fabric paint to create Aboriginal dreamtime lizards; create knotted works of art inspired by ancient Mayan counting systems; embroider varsity cross-stitch letters or try out decorative Japanese book binding. Alternatively, try a host of other techniques such as quilting, printing, dyeing, couching tumbled crockery, creating pleats and puckers and needlelace. Packed with stitch galleries and bursting with slow sewing ideas, the book also contains 'behind the stitches' features: illuminating insights into sewing movements such as Boro textiles, Gee's Bend quilting and Dorset buttons.
