Tapestry with Pulled Warp
by Susan Iverson

Tapestry doesn't have to be restricted to flat panels! Susan Ivorson creates curves, folds, flaps, and pockets using a unique method of shaping the fabric on the loom and then cinching the warp ends to create three-dimensionality. If you are familiar with sewing patterns, you might recognize the way darts and pleats are made in Susan's weavings. The book begins with instructions for weaving a series of samples for shaping the fabric and then provides many beautiful color photographs showing how they can be incorporated into finished pieces. Innovative, inspiring, and full of techniques that you can use in your own weaving!
