Books with title Fabric

Clyde has worked for Mr. Wilkshire for a very long time. Life is comfortable in his keeper's chateau—until Mr. Wilkshire is attacked. Clyde goes into hiding and emerges to find his only friend dead. Brokenhearted and clueless how to bring Mr. Wilkshire's killer to justice, Clyde accepts the help of a unique group of friends, including Flam the Mouflon treasure hunter and Nevele the royal stitcher. Throughout their adventure, Clyde learns he isn't alone in this world with his magical ability: there are others like him called fabrick weavers, and for all it is both a special gift and a curse. His gift is to ease the conscience of anyone who makes a confession to him, but the curse is that the person’s luck will be reduced in proportion to the severity of the offense. Having left his pampered life behind to set things right, Clyde joins his new friends traveling into the razed city of Geyser, into the labyrinthine world beneath, and to the palace beyond. Along the way, the group deals with an unrelenting maniac pursuer, a corrupt king, a band of pirates, a small army of guardsmen, and just a few million dog-sized bugs—all while hopefully managing to avoid jinxing their own members. Yeah, no problem.

This series - Fresh Start - provides an introduction to the use of different art and craft mediums. The books use step-by-step photographs to illustrate techniques and show a wide range of finished works. This entry in the series offers instructions on making art from fabric. Fabric can be woven from either natural or synthetic (man-made) fibers; these fibers can be either coarse and rough in texture, or smooth and fine. The fibers might be wool, cotton or nylon. In this book you will be shown some simple ways of making threads from natural wool. It is important to do this at the start so that you not only understand how fabric is made but also begin to appreciate the skills and materials used. You will go on to decorate some pieces of fabric in different ways, and you will be encouraged to experiment freely in developing ideas of your own.
