absolute eye candy,
This review is from: 1,000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables (Paperback)
This book is packed full of beauty and inspiration. Lots of felting, weaving and quilting. Very imaginative stuff, beautiful colors and textures. I have leafed through it quite a few times, and see new things ALL THE TIME!! Like a brand new book every time I open it.
Get it. Don't hesitate, you won't regret it.

This review is from: 1,000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables (Paperback)
The book is beautifully illustrated with clear, full colors photos. Many of the items pictured
are excellent but it seems as though the publisher was desperate to reach the number 1000 and therefore threw in many weak and inconsistent pieces.

beautiful!,
By Susan Bleiweiss "Sue b" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 1,000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables (Paperback)
In the interest of full disclosure I should begin by saying I have two pieces in this book.
The book is divided into 5 sections: Wearable Art & Couture Fashion Accessories Soft Furnishings & Vessels Tapestries & Display Art Art Quilts Each section is filled with one gorgeous image after another. I am impressed with the quality of photographs in this book. The images are clear, bright and in some cases detail shots of the items are included. Each image is labeled with the artists name and a reference number that corresponds to an image directory where the reader can find a brief detailed description of the item. This book is a wonderful compilation of inspiring images and eye candy worthy of a spot on any fiber artists or enthusiasts coffee table where it can be picked up and browsed through again and again. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

Cream of the crop,
By mauivix "mauivix" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 1,000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables (Paperback)
This is my first review ever but I felt compelled to share how much I love this book. I have a rather large collection of books on fiber art particularly those focusing on art quilting and felting. This is the best I've seen in terms of the vast number of beautiful examples of fiber art. I appreciate the section in the back that identifies each piece and the method/materials used as well as artist info. This is not a "how to" book but a fabulous showcase of many talented fiber artists creating today. Very inspiring!

By whim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 1,000 Artisan Textiles: Contemporary Fiber Art, Quilts, and Wearables (Paperback)
This book is loaded with full-color pictures of faboulous textiles. There is quite a large section on felted fabrics. You will finding clothing, scarves, purses, wall art/quilts, etc. I am just awed by the creativity of the artists featured in this book. I am a quilter and artist and I find this book immensly inspirational.
