NY Public Library Rocks!


Geometric Design in Weaving By Regensteiner, Else


i've said that for many posts, but really it does. besides the 5th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, several books came in this week that i had on hold. i have a very systematic way of tagging pages down the vertical side, then i tag pages again along the top that mark super, mambo, excellent stuff. let's just say that i tagged the shit outta the "Geometric Design in Weaving" book - inspiration galore!

The Woven and Graphic Art of Anni Albers By Weber, Nicholas Fox

the cover of this book rocked my world before i even opened it! but i mean come on, it's Anni Albers. i saw some of her sketches for patterns at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and those just blew me away. everything looks so simple and direct. yeah, try making these patterns - my eyes get buggy and i never see what i'm trying to create. it's a bit of a fuzz until it all finally comes together in the end.
