来自成就**的纺织品艺术家让•德雷珀（Jean Draper）的一本宝贵指南，介绍纺织品艺术中的图案设计和处理。

就像她在大获成功的《针法和结构》中所做的那样，让•德雷珀带领纺织品艺术家们学习一些最具创意图案处理方式，并利用我们对节奏的钟爱和面料中的重复。她讨论了图案的性质及其语言，并解释了网格，对称性以及设计的正面和负面。详尽的研究探索了包括班加拉在内的其他文化的图案；植物和花朵中的图案；人类身体上的图案。从头到尾，Draper都在精心教授各种技术，从将针脚放在一起到夸大和重叠的针脚，再到仅使用一种针脚。通过从头到尾的精美插图，整个过程中，《针法和图案》为创作真正优秀的纺织艺术提供了丰富的灵感。

From the hugely accomplished textile artist Jean Draper comes an invaluable guide to designing and working with pattern in textile art.

As she did in her successful Stitch and Structure, Jean Draper guides textile artists through some of the most creative ways of working up patterns, and harnessing our love for rhythm and repeat in fabric. She discusses the nature of pattern and its language, and explains grids, symmetry, and the positive and negative in design. Detailed studies explore patterns from other cultures, including Banjara; in plants and flowers; and on the human body. Throughout, Draper carefully teaches a variety of techniques, from putting stitches together, to exaggerating and overlapping stitches, to using just one type of stitch. With beautiful examples throughout, Stitch & Pattern provides ample inspiration to develop truly great textile art.
