Synopsis

Unlock daily creativity with this guide for recording time by using fiber craft. Using weaving, stitching, quilting, or other fiber arts every day to better notice the passing of time offers you more than an arresting artwork. In fact, a creative daily practice transforms your making and is likely to become one of your favorite parts of the day. But time is complicated, so how to begin? Renowned tapestry weaver Tommye McClure Scanlin answers that question for all makers who love working with fabric, fibers, and textiles. Well known for her tapestry diaries, she explores with you how to capture your own time in your artwork. Enjoy photos of their "time capsule" pieces from over 25 makers, plus their experiences of the process and benefits of daily practice. Then, using Tommye’s simply explained methods, begin your own personal calendar, journal, or diary. A foreword by Sarah C. Swett reminds us of the mix of adrenaline and power that’s available to fiber crafters who truly realize that everything they make is an attempt to capture time.|Unlock daily creativity with this guide for recording time by using fiber craft|Ever since the original release of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, it’s been agreed that a creative daily practice transforms your making. But fiber artists―from knitters to weavers, quilters to embroiderers―experience making in a different way than other crafters. Here’s a guide especially for them on starting, maintaining, and enjoying a purposeful daily practice while making an arresting, very personal artwork. Well-known fiber artist Tommy McClure Scanlin (author of the bestselling Tapestry Design Basics and Beyond) breaks it down into clear, doable steps. • Enables fiber crafters of any kind to start and successfully benefit from a personal daily practice. • Packed with practical ideas, in text and photos, for making a personal fiber art calendar, journal, or diary. • Dozens of prompts to ward off the largest challenge: feeling creatively “stuck.” • Stories from more than 25 makers explain the benefits of daily practice, sharing inspiring photos of their finished "time capsule" pieces. • Fascinating facts and history, including why we humans have the urge to mark time visually. • Foreword by widely followed blogger and weaver Sarah Swett.
