Take a voyage through these pages and see how today's artisans continue to create traditional fiber arts with age-old methods. Blending well-researched information, engaging style, and inspiration, the pages explore espadrilles, flat woven rugs, mittens, voudou flags, mirror embroidery, and the histories they hold. This open-eyed approach will appeal to textile devotees, from the casually curious to professional artists, and to people who are interested in heritage crafts and diverse cultures. Brandon has written for more than a decade for WARP (Weave A Real Peace), a nonprofit networking organization whose members are dedicated to improving the quality of life of textile artisans in communities in need.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 746 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
