## Description

Practical and inspirational guide helps embroiderers and textile artists explore mixed media techniques in their sketchbooks, from initial inspiration to finished work.

Review: A delightful, beautifully produced book - I am so glad I took the leap of faith in ordering this book unseen. It has more than lived up to my expectations. It is a brilliant and beautifully produced book full of ideas for both the beginner in the gentle art of sketchbooking and for those more experienced and wanting to consider things afresh. Just gazing at the illustrations is a pleasure and many of the examples shown throughout are little art works in their own right. Many have provoked new thoughts and ideas for my own work. The sections discussing the use of photographs and digital technology bring the sketch book up to date and were of particular interest to me as I use the techniques in my own work. The idea of including sketchbooks from other artists in the field gives insight into a wider range of approaches and gives further scope for inspiration. And then there is the thoughtful, helpful text to offer further explanation and to introduce new techniques. Although I'd come across some of the techniques before, it was interesting to see them in a new context. Shelley Rhodes has a clear informative writing style which brought them to life again and there was plenty that was new to inspire me. This is a book I will treasure and refer to time again. I'm just sorry I didn't buy it when it first came out!
Review: Beautiful book - Shelley Rhodes work is beautiful and this book is a must have for any textile or mixed media artist. The images are inspirational and there are lots of them. The ideas are great for individual work but also good for teaching new techniques to students. The promotional images do not do this book justice. A definite recommend for the bookcase, I can't stop looking through it. I love the section on making your own mark making tools. I love this book and think you will too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book to get you started in keeping a sketchbook.
*by A***T on 26 August 2019*

I have always wanted to keep a sketchbook but did not know where to start and this book gets you going! It has a huge amount of inspiring photos, information on different types of sketchbooks, different mediums to use and how to overcome that blank page. It really is an excellent resource that you can come back to time and time again. It is well laid out and makes it possible to start on your own creative journey.
