Known for his slapstick, acrobatic fighting style and innovative stunts, he is considered one of cinema's most iconic martial artists. He began his career as a child actor and part of the Seven Little Fortunes at the Peking Opera School. His breakthrough came with Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978), establishing his comedic kung fu style. He gained international recognition with films like Rumble in the Bronx (1995) and Rush Hour (1998). Chan is a global star with numerous awards, including an honorary Academy Award. He has also had success as a singer and philanthropist. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Jackie Chan's birth name was Chan Kong-sang, which literally means "Chan the [Hong] Kong-born". He later changed his Chinese name to Fang Shilong (房仕龍) to reflect his father's original family name. 
    
  Before becoming a film star, Jackie Chan was a member of the Seven Little Fortunes at the Peking Opera School, where he trained in acrobatics, martial arts, and acting. He adopted the stage name Yuen Lo during this time. 
    
  Jackie Chan's first major breakthrough role was in the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which helped establish the comedic kung fu genre. He was given complete freedom over his stunt work by the director. 
    
  In the 1980s, Jackie Chan was part of the "Three Dragons" with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, starring in six Hong Kong films together. These three had become close friends while at the Peking Opera School and were known as the Three Brothers.

  More and more textile artists are using natural processes in their work, from dyeing with rust to working with found and scavenged items, and this book is the first to bring these increasingly popular techniques together. It promotes a way of working creatively with what is close at hand, whether gathered on walks by the seashore or collected in your garden, and working in tune with natural processes, bringing the rhythms and unpredictability of nature into your work.
  Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
  The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.
