Le nouveau livre est en anglais et est disponible en deux versions, une aux Etats Unis et l’autre en Angleterre. J’ai laissé volontairement les explications suivantes en anglais car il faut bien maîtriser un peu cette langue pour pouvoir profiter du livre!!! Désolé qu’il n’y ait pas de version en Français, vous pouvez toujours essayer d’écrire à l’éditeur Batsford pour en demander!!!! Je propose un stage avec ces techniques, apprentissage d’impression à la main et avec une presse, alors n’hésitez pas à vous lancer!
This new book (2012) has been published in the UK by Batsford under the title
Collage, Stitch, Print Collagraphy for Textile Artists
This is a lovely hardback book with a cloth cover
and in the USA by Interweave as
Print with Collage and Stitch Techniques for mixed media Printmaking.
A paperback, but as someone pointed out, useful for getting dirty in the studio! I really like the American title!
here is what they say on the back of the American book

In her innovative book Print with Collage & Stitch expert embroidery teacher Val Holmes will teach you this popular new technique, and you’ll explore everything you need to know about the exciting effects of incorporating seemingly endless permutations of collage, stitch, and print into your own stitched-textile work.
