Though the technique is inexpensive and requires less space, equipment, and skill than dyeing fabrics for quilt making, readers will learn step-by-step how the use of paper-cloth?from making the paper-cloth itself; adding color and interest to the foundation with inks, stains, paints, and glazes; texturizing; implementing printmaking techniques; and more?can allow layers of complexity and textural appeal. Common projects include art quilts, art dolls, jewelry, and artist books. Perfect for artists interested in altered art, found and recycled art, needle felting, and nontraditional elements, this original resource is the first to cross the paper and cloth mediums. About the Author Kelli Perkins is a librarian and a mixed-media artist. Her work has been featured in Cloth Paper Scissors, and she has taught at the International Quilt Festival.

Don't hold your breath for a masterpiece (or much of anything) since I'm notoriously slow. But I'll look forward to the posts and I'll have some questions I know.

I live in Albuquerque NM and am a very senior citizen but still have a quest for at least reading and dreaming about Eye Candy.
