An abundance of colorful art, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, and four artists’ styles as inspiration—what more could you ask for? Readers are encouraged to try every technique in the book. The authors suggest readers take their “try-outs and test pieces” and create a sample book or workbook, which they provide instructions for. There is an in-depth look at foundations with fabric manipulation, discharge dyeing, and rusting; soft embellishments like embroidery, appliqué, and foiling; a variety of hard embellishments, and lots more. Gallery art is sprinkled throughout the book along with plenty of helpful tips. Readers will be happy to find that this book is spiral bound, so it will lay flat for easy use. Add this one to your list.
