Some really inspiring imagery and huge amounts of techniques that I now want to learn. This book will definitely be on my to buy list and I would recommend it to anyone interested in textiles and handicrafts. The images are nice and big and there are blurbs about the artist as well as a small amount of writing regarding technique.
