Weaving Step-by-Step: Projects to inspire creativity for all levels.
Sue Muldoon is a seatweaver, basket weaver, craftsperson, photographer, graphic designer, and social media consultant. She has put these skills together to create step-by-step visual instructions for seatweaving, basketry, crafts, and Zen stones. Highly visual and easy to read, the color photographs will guide you through your project. 64 pages, it will give you plenty of ideas.
The work is a culmination of years of teaching at festivals, woodworking schools, art guilds, and farmers' markets. She has taught both in-person and virtually. The need for instructions for classes resulted in colorful and concise instruction sheets to use in classes and kits. Along with the instructions, there are tips on dyeing, weaving, finishing, and creating future projects. Icons for beginner, intermediate, and advanced patterns indicate the skill level but are only a guide. Icons to distinguish weaving to be done dry or wet are also included.
Written for all levels from beginner to advanced, this is a great addition to a creative library. Some patterns and grids are in real size to lay your reed over them. This helps in learning the pattern the first time. Be sure to protect it in a clear bag or sleeve if you are working with wet reed.
20 patterns are included along with some suggestions of future projects made with the same baseline knowledge. It is the first in a series of books.
