Lesley Riley's latest offering to artists' bookshelves is both a solid primer and a powerhouse of a workbook. The general technique section is detailed and expansive. It extensively covers image transfers, dyes and paint, needle felting, and much more. Lesley created most of the projects (each with clear and highly detailed instructions) herself, with additional contributions from Claudine Hellmuth, Katie Kendrick, Jenn Mason, and Judi Kaufmann. Photography throughout is large, clear, and colorful. Although relatively short, its 62 pages include the usual necessities - sources for supplies and bibliographies (online, too) - but wait, there's more! Bound into the book are several sheets of Lutradur, so you can begin to experiment IMMEDIATELY. How swell is that? Not many how-to books include the main component necessary for the projects' completion.
Once YOU have completed one or two of these lovely, clever, or in some cases, just plain adorable projects, you will become more facile in your use of the product and I can guarantee you will be intrigued enough to want to experiment further on your own - at which point you will need to go get yourself an entire package of Lutradur. See ya in the marketplace!
