Sheer Delight: Handwoven Transparencies

About this book

From the inside dustjacket: If you saw Doramay Keasbeys lovely and colorful transparencies youd probably want to weave one yourself. When we asked her to write this book she asked a large number of very talented weavers in this country and elsewhere for examples of their work. Her efforts were richly rewarded. Dozens of weavers generously supplied her with photographs of their creations. The result is a delight to behold and a source of inspiration for your own transparencies. Besides giving you a gallery of phenomenal work being done in this area today Doramays book also explains how to do the techniques involved. A transparency as you probably know is woven on a fine warp with the pattern areas inlaid with a heavier yarn. When mounted in front of a window the warp seems to disappear while the pattern appears suspended in air.
