Beautifully photographed, easy to understand and not intimidating. Helped me to make friends with my scanner.
I wish I bought a bag of time with it! March 19, 2008
Oh, I want to try all the workshops at the same time, so inspiring! But where do I find the time? But I will try them all!!! Promise!
Great Source Book March 17, 2008
This book has lots of great pictures and a huge varity of ways to manipulate, change, enhance and combine fabrics. I'll use it a lot.
 YOU WON'T LEARN MUCH IN THIS "WORKSHOP" February 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you're expecting to learn the techniques in this book you'll be disappointed. The author uses 2-4 pages on each mini "workshop" with limited photos that are not helpful. The "instructions" are sparse and confusing. If you want exposure to various materials and possible sources and/or referrals to other books for greater detail on 2-3 of the materials then this might be a helpful resource.
If you like to "experiment", this is the book for you! February 26, 2008

I really didn't know how comprehensive this book was until I got it! It covers a wide variety of techniques and would be a great addition to someone's library who likes to play and experiment with various techniques in fabric embellishment and altering. My only critcizm is that there aren't enough detailed instructions. But then again, if there were, the book would have to be much thicker and probably a lot costlier. The author does make suggestions in places for other books on the particular techniques (like the angelina fibers). It's a great book for someone like myself who has a minimum knowledge of the various products and techniques mentioned, but just needs a bit of guidence in how to use them.
