[.uk] Handpainting Fabric: Easy, Elegant Techniques (ISBN 0823016269)

Perfect Meld of Inspirational and Practical:
This book is beautiful and practical. It inspires its readers to get creative with their homes and their wardrobes. It includes techniques like assembling a makeshift "light table"(p. 49) that would work for anyone who fancies a craft that requires tracing. Mothers of preschoolers, fathers interested in raising creative children, and pre-school or elementary school teachers. Those who teach art to adults will also find much here. -------- Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of THIS IS THE PLACE and HARKENING. Her own practical how-to book, THE FRUGAL BOOK PROMOTER, will be released summer of 2004.

Un libro muy interesante !:
Hermoso libro, imagenes nitidas y bellas. Instrucciones faciles de entender. Lo recomiendo a todas las personas interesadas en la pintura en tela.

Best book I ever bought:
This book is fantastic - as I knew it would be. From start to finish, it is clear, concise, easy to understand and full of ideas. I also bought another 5 star book that I wish I hadn't. Handpainting Fabric tells you exactly what you need to know without long narratives - which I hate. The pictures are fabulous and techniques are easy and written extremely well. This book makes you want to get started immediately. My suggestion is if you are just starting out, this is the book for you - it tells all you need to know. And why not - its Michelle Newman.

Must Have:
This is a gorgeous book and a must have for those who paint on fabric, especially silk. Filled with techniques & things to try!

Lots of photos, little substance:
I returned this book, because it wasn't what I wanted. I skimmed it over, and there are a lot of pretty pictures, but it is mostly about silk, only cursory information about other materials, lots about one authors specific projects. Most of the instructional info can be found free on the internet.
