Just got my copy of Textiles: The Art of Mankind by Mary Schoeser. It’s an impressive and lavishly illustrated large tome 24 x 29 cms in size with over 1,000 full colour illustrations. Looking forward to reading and re-reading this fantastic reference book. I immediately looked in the index for my name as I had been informed that some of my work would be included in the book. Oh my goodness, my portrait of my husband in Barcelona ‘David as Dali‘ 2010 is there full page, in all its glory on page 350. My Grandparents portrait ‘Loaves and Fishes’ 2010 is also there on page 348. The book is published by Thames & Hudson ISBN 978-0-500-51645-4 and is available on Amazon.

Thank you Lucy.Both these pieces are a mix of hand and machine stitch with applied recycled fabrics.
Looks very impressive! Thank you for sharing such a beauty.
I shall include it in my Xmas wish list…
It’s definitely worth getting.Great reference for printed, woven and historic textiles,in particular.
I did get it for Christmas. It is indeed a great reference book. Beautiful ! I strongly recommend it.
So pleased you enjoyed the book.
I’ve clicked on the like button but actually I love your work. Loaves and Fishes is incredible and gives me an emotional buzz
Thank you very much. My Grandparents were staunch Methodists so the title refers both to that and the fact that my Grandad was a Master confectioner and Baker who owned a village shop now of course long gone.
