Color and Fiber by Patricia Lambert, Barbara Staepelaere & Mary G. Fry

Fiber artists will welcome this opportunity to learn how to use and control color with this monumental and exquisitely beautiful book. Whether you stitch, quilt, weave, work in macrame, hook rugs, knit, crochet or experiment in mixed media, you will benefit from the author's techniques for solving color problems. The first section presents essential terminology, ideas and definitions about light and color as preparation for the problems, projects and ideas which follow. The second section describes how light, dye and pigment work with fibers. The third section presents the practical applications for the information gained in the first two sections. Besides color mixing and special effects, this section examines projects that artists or classes can do to understand color's part in determining spatial effects, emotional impact and color systems.
