I’d love to learn more about faux rust –now that we live in an apartment I can’t have big cauldrons of rusting ‘stuff’lying about.
I’d love to start out with experimenting with Tyvek. Sounds like a great book,thanks for offering this giveaway!
Hmm -I loved the first book ,and am really interested in learning more on TAP as the one I bought didnt work-sai la vie!! But also love lutrudur and buckram sounds fun!! Heck they all sound interestingf!
Looks a great book! I’d love to learn more about thermofaxes and collograph printing!
I have paper Solvy,but have never gotten around to using it. I’d like to learn new techniques with it.
I’d like to check out her method on safe rust dyeing. I love rusting fabric and I love the look…but it is caustic!
It sounds like a great book! I’m interested in textural effects. I love learning new ways to add dimension to my work.
That looks like a very interesting book. I’d love to know more about the faux rust dyeing technique,and light molding paste is something I’ve wanted to try for a little while.
Hard to choose a technique. I haven’t managed to do all the techniques in the last book. lol But that does not mean that I do not want to get the book!
Her first book is so well done. Simple explanations and great pictures. The technique I would most like to explore is using the information on substrates. What to use and when is enough –enough.
Thanks for the give away. This is a book that is on my list to go into my “library stash”
I would love a copy of this book –I am still waiting for my copy of her first book to arrive –so i would be overjoyed if I got both at the same time!!
It sounds like the book covers a lot.
This looks very interesting. I’ve done a lot of surface design but am interested in trying some of them with the different substrates in this book.
I have a cache of Tyvek I’ve been collecting and would like more ideas about incorporating it into surface design.
Wow! This book looks great. I’d love to learn more about thermofax screens,especially making my own,and I also want to learn about soy wax batik. My fingers are crossed!
