Natural Processes in Textile Art: From Rust Dyeing To Found Objects Hardcover – September 1, 2015
Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.

But in the long run, Alice is absolutely right. Every work of art pretty much has a shelf life, and can be damaged or broken. So be clear-eyed about whatever it is you're using, and enjoy the ride. Her great examples, and easy to follow advice, make this book a real inspiration, and a keeper.
