Transparency in Textiles

Clearly beautiful! One of the hottest trends in textile art is achieving transparency and translucency through design and the application of new, harder materials: acrylic, perspex, acetates, fiber optics, gels, and resins. Dawn Thorne explains the whole process, including the use of layering, reflections, shadows, lighting, and stitching. In addition to practical projects such as jewelry and a three-dimensional object, there are Images of contemporary transparent textile art to provide inspiration.
