Art of Annemieke Mein, Mein, A, Search Press

This book showcases sixty textile works from this multi-talented artist who has created one of the most beautiful bodies of nature based work I've seen. She creates unique pieces with machine embroidery, painting, dyeing, appliqué, trapunto, quilting, pleating, moulding, sculpting, felting, hand embroidery, beading, spinning, weaving, plying, stiffening, and wiring in endless combinations. For example, there is one piece that uses up to seven layers of organza to realistically portray the soft down of birds and twenty shades of cream, white and brown used in seagulls. Profusely illustrated with sketches and over 125 color photos
