Theme and Variation: More Weaving That Sings offers the weaver who wishes
to use free form designing in wall hangings, rugs, clothing and other projects will find detailed instructions for achieving excellent results.
The drawings that show the interlacement of threads and yarns are clear and large enough to be easily read. The explanations demonstrating each technique are so detailed that beginning weavers will be able to follow the instructions.
The authors have brought to the reader so many possible uses for the Theo
Moorman technique and the variations seem to be endless. The life and work of
Theo Moorman adds to the fact that this very creative woman has inspired so many weavers with her philosophy and good judgment in designing many lovely hangings for churches and homes. She has given us a technique that allows free form designing without the endless hours of creating traditional tapestry, for which we are grateful.
Examples of woven pieces and clothing illustrate how varied the use of the
Theo Moorman technique can be. Not only has the classic technique been explored but many variations have been described in detail. A large chapter on clothing is included and many examples of recent work by both authors are shown in color.
Designing has been a real challenge for many weavers and ideas have been included for overcoming this obstacle by giving instructions for ways that can lead to creating free form designs that can sing.
