A truly enjoyable work of art May 16, 2003 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a gorgeous pictorial and includes step-by-step instructions for each technique shown. I have looked through it over and over just to enjoy the artwork. I've also been able to adapt the designs to my own style and use the instructions to succesfully recreate the projects shown. One of my favorite rubber stamping books.
All good tips in one book! August 20, 2002 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I like this book because it has a lot of good tips all in one book. I own many rubber stamping books with tips and techniques but they do not have such variety in contents and they are often bits and pieces everywhere across different books which made me end up with too many books on my book shelves. I do not mind if the ideas are originally from Suze or not (as one reviewer brought up)...at least Suze has recognised the need to compile and compact the ideas as much as possible into one book) which I find value for money beyond compare. Her book is easy enough to read and understand and I've been able to come up with successful projects that make a difference and that I'm a proud owner of. I truly have never seen an author so willing to put so much in ONE book for the readers and I'll have to give Suze the credit for that... 5 stars all the way! (This book complements the artsy side of rubber stamping)
Taking Rubber Stamping to the Next Level October 24, 2001 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
After my initial purchases, I didn't buy many books on rubber stamping because most of them describe the same techniques and just show different examples. This book is different. As soon as I leafed through it, I knew I had to buy it. The samples in this book are works of art. The techniques are advanced, the photos are beautiful and the instructions are clear and concise. This is not a book for beginners. It won't teach you the basic stamping techniques but instead it takes stamping to the next level, from a craft to an art form. I consider myself an advanced stamper but for sometime I have been looking for something that would that would help advance my stamping skills. I think this is just what I have been hoping to find.
I've been taken to a new level April 15, 2001 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I consider myself to be an intermediate/advanced stamper, and I have not run across any other book yet that has intrigued me as much as this! I love the fact that it covers so many techniques, keeps the instructions simple and straightforward, and has great pictures to show you the results that can be achieved. I first got it from the library, and am now ordering it because I know I will refer to it again and again. Take a look for yourself--even get it from the library first for a preview--and form your own opinion. I think you'll love it!
Technique AND eye candy in one volume March 28, 2001 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Most rubber stamping books I've seen are one of two types; lots of beautiful samples, but little content to be of help to an inexperienced stamper, or good content instructionally with little to inspire. This book has ample amounts of both. The basic information is presented in the beginning, explaining supplies and techiques. Each technique is clearly illustrated, with supply lists and step by step instructions. The techniques run from bleach stamping through various applications for thick embossing powder, to stamping on art metals, to various brayer techniques. A beautiful sample of each technique is shown in each set of instructions, sometimes more than one example. At the back of the book is a gallery of sorts, showing what several stamp artists have been able to achieve with the use of some of these techniques. I did notice the missing steps mentioned by another reviewer, and would have liked the missing steps inserted somehow, as it is a technique I'd like to try sometime. Perhaps newer editions have corrected this mistake. Otherwise, whether Suze Weinberg actually created these techniques or not, I am appreciative of a book that has polished examples with clear instructions that even those like myself who are "stamping challenged" can aspire toward.
