Coming soon - Mixed-Media Self-Portraits: Inspiration & Technique, from Interweave Press and Cate Coulacos Prato. It'll be in stores September 1st, but is available now for pre-order at amazon.com and will shortly be on quiltingarts.com. Yes, that main cover image is me - an Andy Warholed version of my self portrait photo, taken with my laptop camera in the middle of the night, printed onto fabric, collaged and swirly-whirly stitched, being watched by a painted crow.
[the product description]
Featuring artwork from a wide range of contributors, this resource explores creative self-portraits through fun and easy exercises and essays that instruct and inspire artists working in all media. Examples of collage, fiber arts, and mixed media artwork offer visual inspiration while essays throughout the book act as a guide to personal and artistic self-discovery. Step-by-step techniques and creative prompts are used to direct artists through different approaches to creating self-portraits while exercises utilizing collage, drawing, photography, and stitching will jumpstart the creative process and get ideas flowing on paper and fabric, encouraging artists to express themselves in new ways.
