Explore color with confidence in your favorite craft meduim. Combine color theory with crafts such as knitting, spinning, surface design (including stenciling and rubber stamping), hand- and machine-embroidery, beadwork, quilting, and paper collage, with the help of expert and master teacher Deb Menz, author of the highly regarded Color In Spinning (Interweave, 1998).
Colorworks includes
- Basic color concepts such as values, contrasting and complementary colors, warm and cool colors, undertones, using color relationships, and more
- Dynamic palettes of color harmonies worked up in each crafting medium, perfect for the multi-media crafter who dabbles in more than one craft
- A pull-out color wheel and a very handy section of hue cards in perforated format that are easy to remove and used for planning, matching, and shopping for supplies
- And much more!
If understanding color is an important form of self expression, how did we ever live without this book?
