Renowned designed Kaffe Fassett has often been asked where he finds the source material for his brilliant knitting and needlepoint designs.
'Glorious Inspiration' provides the answer, with a stunning collection of design sources drawn from all over the world, including paintings, ceramics, textiles, beadwork, mosaics and much more. Kaffe has always encouraged those who read his books to have the confidence to experiment themselves and create their own designs. This book supplies perfect raw material, with a range of sources to inspire wonderful motifs and colour combinations, and Kaffe illustrates the point by giving his own knitting and neddlepoint interpretations of some of the pieces. From Shells and Minerals through Wild Animals to Fruit and Foliage, this inspiring collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative processes of a brilliant designer and is an invaluable reference for stitchers, knitters, decorative artists and everyone interested in the visual arts.
