The Art of Annemieke Mein: Wildlife Artist in Textiles

Annemieke uses an amazing variety of materials – silk, wool, fur, cotton, synthetics – carefully chosen for their colour, texture, credibility and aesthetic appeal. These fabrics are then meticulously painted and stitched to faithfully reproduce her chosen subjects and to enhance the tactile quality unique to textiles. Numerous techniques are used in limitless combinations: hand and machine embroidery, dyeing, applique, trapunto, quilting, pleating, felting, beading, weaving and plying. — ISBN13: 9781782217657
