 Great technique resource December 11, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
What I like most about this book is how she shows how multiple processes combine well to create some very stunning fabric art. Though not the most comprehensive of fabric books I've read, it is a very close--especially when it comes to the usage of dyes and discharge techniques. A fabric artist of any level will find much to keep them inspired by this book. The examples are dazzling. I also appreciate how she shows you how to make basic tools (stencils, silkscreen exposure setups) without necessarily having to buy something specifically for the technique she's describing.
Great for building upon different techniques January 8, 2006

This book is a totally practical guide to surface design. The step by step pictures of the processes are particularly helpful. The finished items where the author has built up a cloth through her repertoire of techniques are inspirational.

If you are just getting into dyeing fabric or already have got your feet blue and orange and green from spills, this book holds lots of tips and tricks and just plain "how to". Dunnewold's book can be read and used as a reference or browsed and used as a stimulus for "what can I do today?" Organized well, straight forward text and good explanations. Get some dye and make your cloth complex...layers and layers and layers of lovely.

Terrific book and I've taken 4 of her classes. She keeps on coming up with ideas--enough for another book or two. This is an excellent resource and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in surface design on fabric.
