Create you Own Hand-Printed Cloth — A New Book

create-you-own.jpgThis is another one of the “Wow” books with so many creative ideas for transforming just plain fabric or objects into something special.

  This book has so many technques and ideas, but I love her basic principles.   Work quickly.  Don’t over analyze.  But most importantly I love…Don’t worry about being neat.  You can buy neat in a store.  And above all…It’s OK if you don’t like it.

   I will be taking a copy of this book home for my personal fun because I really want to do something where I don’t have to worry about the “neat” thing.
