This book is exceptionally unique. It's filled with beautiful color photography of the projects and well drawn black and white diagrams of how to do things. The book is also well organized: Example: For making a Papier Mache and Rag Bowl, author suggests first getting "design inspiration" by visiting textile and embroidery exhibitions to see how artists blend texture, color, and stitching. Then the author goes on to discuss "planning the decoration" by looking at the fabric and it's texture and shapes or patterns., etc.. Next, "applying the decoration". Then, "making a collection of bowls", the "making the decorated bowl"---materials are listed, then a numbered step-by-step directions in a well-explained and simple manner, followed by colorful artsy photo of a possible finished piece of beautiful art. I never realized all the wonderful things you can do with colorful fabric and the beauty of the textures and designs. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction Collecting and Preparing Rags Rag Rugs Coiled, Crocheted and Knitted Rugs Waving with Fabric Decorative Room Furnishings Greeting Cards Decorative Wreaths and Rings Decorative Household Objects Beads, Buttons and Jewelery Re-Using Knitwear Dyeing, Printing, and Marbeling Index This is fantastic book not only for its well organized instructions, but also for the inspirational photos and the colorfulness that makes it exciting reading. A GREAT BOOK!!
