Jean Ray Laury is an icon among quiltmakers, and has blazed a path for Art Quilters by her innovations and experimentation. This book was published in 2002 and STILL stands tall as a great resource for quilters wanting to experiment with new surface techniques. Think of the six projects as a jumping off board, and use what you learn to create personal art. You dont need a lot of expensive new tools to get started - she begins with an exploration of common household items you can use to create design and pattern. So with a little fabric and fabric paints, you too can be an artist! Some things I especially like about this book include the big gallery section (did I say, I love eye-candy?), a bunch of full sized patterns, and the fact that she had lots of ideas here of how to actually use the designs you make in quilts, art-to-wear, household objects, and more.Read full review
Practically everything you need to know about stamping on fabric is in this book! The author guides you in using pre-made stamps (and following copyright laws) and creating your own stamps. There is an in-depth resource for supplies that are available for stamp making and different types of inks and paints for stampers to use. Lots of tips and techniques are introduced. There are 6 complete projects with detailed instructions and patterns. To provide even more inspiration there are many full color photos of completed projects by various artists.
I bought this for information, have not had a chance to check it completely, but hope it covers what I need to know.
