Fabric Photos

Summary: Dated? Yes. Important? Definitely.
Review: If you're looking to learn the newest techniques for transfering images to fabric, this isn't the book. Jean Ray Laury offers more, as do other artist/authors. But, this book was innovative 20 years ago, when I first read it and considered it a "must-own" five-star book. And, there's a lot to be said for the creative energy in books like this. At the time, this book took enormous chances to bring new and innovative techniques to a fabric community where "fabric art" most often meant traditional pieced quilts in tasteful calicos. It was a vitally important book in my development as an artist, and--if you're tracing the history of contemporary fabric art--I recommend this book.

Summary: out dated
Review: This book has good instructions but it is too out dated. I couldn't find many of the materials needed because fabric and craft stores no longer carry them. I recommend a book that was written in the last few years for easier and more accessable methods.
