Its the natural inconsistencies--the accidental differences between one finished piece & another--that make h&-printed fabrics papers furniture & works of art so interesting. The quirks are what show the makers intimate involvement in the process & its that unique quality that first attracted textile designer & illustrator Lena Corwin to h&-printing. Even though decorative prints are more in vogue than ever there was until now no up-to-date h&-printing guide--no single source explaining the tools & materials that are used today or reflecting a contemporary aesthetic. Corwin has given us that guide. Using step-by-step instructions & up-close photos Corwin teaches crafters everything they need to know to master stamping stenciling & screen printing from making their own printing devices to trouble-shooting when plans go awry. Her inimitable collection of projects ranges from stamped stationery & simple-to-sew pouches to stenciled tote bags & furniture to screen-printed bed linens & upholstery fabric. Theres even a silk-screened dog bed. The author has created original artwork for each project (full-size patterns are included in an envelope at the back of the book) so that every crafter can achieve the same beautiful results. Or maybe not quite the same. Remember: Its the subtle differences that make h&-printing so special & alluring. ...
