Synopsis

Artists need to find outlets to express their skills. From sketch artists to sculptors to rug hookers, these skilled folks use their skills to create beautiful works of art. The challenge lies in finding the proper medium in which to express their skills. Tamara Pavich's Designed by You: Ideas and Inspiration for Rug Hookers is a guide for navigating visual creativity. Presenting thirty-six design ideas, ranging from simple to complex, Pavich shows artists where they can find inspiration for their next great work, whether they've hit a mental block or haven't found the right style to express themselves. They will learn how they can best approach a new work by finding a stand-out colour to incorporate, working in new materials, letting a personal story take center stage, looking at the work of other artists and more. There's an approach here to fit every artist's needs.
