- Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo, a Californian who has lived in many places, creates lively stitched silk images.
She developed her skill in four years of apprenticeship to Tibetan craftsmen in India and is one of few non-Tibetans to have mastered their traditional textile art.
Leslie has always loved working with fabric and colors as well as working on herself, so it gives her great pleasure to be able to create inspiring images of personal transformation from pieces of colorful fabrics. All the better when those images also inspire others!
She studied design at the University of California in Santa Cruz and continues to broaden her education with art and textile studies in California and Europe. She is a member of the American Craft Council, Surface Design Association, and Quilt Italia.
Her commissioned works reside in private and monastic collections in Europe, North America, and Asia and have been exhibited at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, California.
Whether secular or sacred, Leslie's work honors the Himalayan culture which has inspired her and made her feel at home.

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.For me, the title and synopsis were misleading. I was expecting a mechanical study of the process of making Tibetan design textiles from fabric. Instead, Threads of Awakening: An American Woman’s Journey into Tibet’s Sacred Textile Art is a memoir of the author’s journey toward enlightenment, from the germ of possibility in middle school, to a more practical plan in business school, to a full-blown adventure as an adult and moving to Kashmir, an area where Tibetans could live outside of China’s martial takeover of Tibet. The forward of the book is written by the Dalai Lama himself.… (mehr)
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.This book is a wonderful introduction to the Tibetan tapestry--its' construction and meanings. The detail in the second half is a weaver's treasure of how to instructions. Even though this is not my area of art interest, I found the information fascinating nevertheless and it gave me a great appreciation of this media.
From a practical standpoint, I would skip the life story and go right to the artist portion.

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.This author is a brilliant story-teller, just phenomenal. This work covers such a unique, yet interesting topic. The chapters are short but powerful. The photographs and artwork inside are beautiful. I'm so glad to have read this book and I can absolutely see myself re-reading it many times in the future! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
