About
this Book From the Publisher The way we decorate our homes has become one of the most meaningful ways to express our individualism, and African fabrics bring a unique quality to our living spaces. Visually exciting and sought-after because of their beautiful colors, rich textures, and exotic patterns, these fabrics can concurrently bring feelings of comfort and drama to any home. Step-by-step instructions and illustrations are also included so readers can create 25 projects like pillows, photo frames, napkins, and place mats that are sewn or use fusible products. As an added bonus, traditional African crafts are explored and taught, including Kente strip weaving, Adinkra, where stamped images are applied to fabrics, and Korhogo, in which symbolic animal and human figures are hand-painted onto coarsely woven cotton. |
