Patricia,Lambert , Barbara Staepelaere, and Mary G. Fry Fiber artists will welcome this opportunity to learn how to use and control colour with this monumental and exquisitely beautiful book. Whether they stitch, quilt, weave, work in macrame, hook rugs, knit, crochet, or experiment in mixed media, the artists will benefit from the authors techniques for solving colour problems. Color and Fiber is divided into three sections. The first section presents essential terminology, ideas, and definitions about light and colour as preparation for the problems, projects and ideas which follow. The second section describes how light, dye and pigment work with fibers because individual fibers, yarns and fabrics differ in their responses to light and colour. The ability to solve colour problems depends on the artists understanding of the fibers light and colour relationships. The third section presents the practical applications for the information gained in the first two sections. Besides colour mixing and special effects such as iridescence and opalescence, this section examines projects that artists or classes can do to understand colours part in determining spatial effects, emotional impact and colour systems. 215 x 279, 105 colour photos,18 charts, 49 b/w photos, 71 line drawings ,255 pages, hard cover
