Fabric art

Found some wonderful images from the talented Louise Bourgeois who died this year (at the age of 99 I think!). I was interested to read that her family moved further out of Paris to run an antique tapestry restoration business - I wonder what amazing tapestries she worked on as a young woman.

The images from the book, Ode de la bievre made me think immediately of patchwork. I was reading Kaffe Fassett's Passionate Patchwork this morning (I borrowed it from the library) and all I could think of was that there is so much to learn about colour.

I would love to get hold of a copy of both of these books. In the meantime, I will keep gazing at these images to see what I can learn from this beautiful work.
