Offering ideas for a variety of tastes, whether soft and romantic or modern geometric, this is a guide to the creation of original hand-painted textile designs for home decoration. It also provides instructions on painting and decorating techniques, from basic brush and sponge effects on cotton to the ancient method of gutta outlining on silk. Other aspects covered include stencilling, marbling and needlecraft skills such as patchwork, quilting, applique and embroidery. Kazz Ball has her own textile design business. Valerie Janitch is the author of 20 previous books, including "The Kate Greenaway Doll Book", and writes for craft magazines.
