Silk Paper
by Sarah Lawrence

Publisher A&C Black
Edition Paperback

Silk paper is an exciting technique that is becoming ever more popular with textile artists. The process consists of taking silk fibres (which are readily available) and felting them together to make sheets of fabric. The result is a strong but delicate fabric which can be either thick and solid or almost transparently thin. This fabric can be used for a wide range of products – from scarves and jewellery to wallhangings and embellishments for skirts and blouses. The process is cheap, easy to do, non-hazardous, doesn't require much space or equipment, and the results can be very beautiful. This is an exciting process which textile artists can add to their repertoire.

This Lust'rd Cloth
By Alysn Midgelow-Marsden

Publisher Art van Go
Edition Paperback

This new book from Alysn explains and illustrates loads of creative techniques with metals and metal meshes. It follows on from her exciting exhibition (at the Knitting and Stitching Shows in 2006) where metal was not just seen as an embellishment for textiles, but perhaps for the first time on such a scale, as a textile itself. Stitched, manipulated, embossed, distressed, transformed - the examples covered will inspire you to think about metal in a completely new way
