Description
Silk Paper Creations for the Fibre Artist by Judith Pinnell explores the versatile medium of silk 'paper', which can be used in almost any aspect of fibre art. Silk is lustrous, slightly transparent, and possesses a beautiful light quality. It is also easy to dye, making it an exciting medium for introducing colour.
Since the publication of Take Silk, Judith Pinnell's first book that focused on using tussah silk tops in silk 'paper' creation, new materials such as lustrous bombyx silk tops and silk throwster waste have become accessible for fibre art. These new additions are featured in Silk Paper Creations for the Fibre Artist along with numerous innovative approaches that expand the potential of silk 'paper' to new heights.
Newcomers to silk 'paper' will be inspired to take on the challenge of creation, while those already captivated by it will discover further avenues to explore. If you seek rich colour and texture in your work and enjoy the thrill of handling pure silk fibres, this beautifully illustrated book offers guidance. It includes detailed instructions for working with different types of silk fibre and thorough descriptions that enable the creation of hangings, motifs to be attached to other fabrics, and moulded shapes such as bowls, vases, and masks.

About the Author
Judith Pinnell was born and educated in Australia. She lived in the UK for 29 years where she obtained a City and Guilds Diploma in Embroidery and attended various courses in textile dyeing. Returning to Perth in 1983 she embarked on a 'journey of discovery' by becoming involved in machine embroidery. She began teaching in Perth, rural Western Australia and interstate, concentrating mainly on machine embroidery, and developing an all-consuming love for colour and texture. Seven years ago she 'discovered' silk paper and the rest, as they say, is history.
