Description: Textile artist and surface designer Mandy Pattullo marries fabric with collage techniques to produce beautiful pieces of art. In Textile Collage she shows a fresh way to use scraps and oddments of fabrics to create something unique and personal, while also being economical - perfect for those who have hoarded bits of fabric, trim and memory-filled domestic textiles over the years. Chapter one covers 'Materials': collecting and sourcing fabric including unpicking and storing found fabric. In chapter two, 'Make', Mandy guides you through all the artistic and creative elements that you need to consider to create a beautiful collage. The following chapter 'Portray' looks at piecing together a collaged portrait - human or animal - showing the figurative approach in collage work that includes transfer images and using found photographs. In the chapter 'Worn', the collage technique is used to embellish skirts, jackets and accessories. The final chapter 'Book' looks at the fabric book as a receptacle for textile collage, with a range of approaches and forms explored. This is a wonderful resource for all textilers looking to make the most of the found fabrics they love and fully explore the technique of collage with textiles.

Review: What a beautiful book :-) Lovely to hold, with the textured cover 'whetting the appetite' for what is inside. And inspirational, however large or small we wish to experiment. I cannot wait to begin.

Review: I was very taken with the fox on the cover I have to say, and it was on pre-order. Too be honest, I should have waited till it either came out in the library or had a look in side feature on Amazon. The cover of the book has a felty type of texture (I did expect it to be a linen or similar feel) which imitates cloth. Some of the projects that were made were not my style whatsoever, there were about 6-7 pages that actually interested me. This is not really a how to book, rather seeing others work. I found that the collages with materials sewn together looked like something a child could have done, although it probably had meaning to the author. It did have clear, coloured photos on every page. I was really looking forward to this book, but if I had seen it in the library there is no way I would have bought it. This is my own opinion and others might be delighted with it.
