Editorial : From Booklist Hot , in British artist Thittichai’s parlance, means the application of heat to specific textiles to create a range of works, from decorative hangings to practical gift cards. As the green movement increases in power, hot can also denote a trend that’s hard to ignore: how to recycle and repurpose the amazing quantity of grocery packaging (among others) that the world produces? Thankfully, the author uses both Rs in this meandering exploration of transforming space-age materials and, yes, plastics. Textiles take first and second place, whether name brands like Tyvek (10 percent polyester) and different weights of the interfacing Pellon to plan everyday plastic shopping bags and candy wrappers.

Textile artists will find this unique guidewhich follows up on the bestselling Fusing Fabricsa superbly practical and inspirational introduction to a truly hot” topic!

Quick easy instructions. From a text standpoint, Wolf's past books have had a clearly defined, easy to follow text with clear and concise references to accompanying photographs as well as captions for most (if not all) photographs featured. The Museum of Modern Art in New York had an exhibition in 1998 devoted to their works; the catalogue, 'Aleksandr Rodchenko', is a well presented overview that is ideal for those wanting to learn about the art and politics of post-revolutionary Russia.. It might not be the book for a beginner. In a way, the book and its chapters or "Elements" are almost TOO wordyalmost a little tiring to read Regardless, it is certainly a must for Wolf fans and design aficionados. It
