Fabric Art Workshop
by Susan Stein
Fabric Art Workshop: Exploring techniques and materials for fabric artists and quilters. There you have it! If you would like to learn about different surface treatments that you can add to your quilting or other fabric projects, this is an excellently written book to get you started. Not all of Susan’s techniques are easy-peasy beginner stuff either. This is a book that you can grow with.
While I did not find a lot that was really new to me, I was impressed by how well it was written and illustrated. There are more than two dozen techniques taught with variations on each and LOTS of pictures.
I really loved the suggestion to use Elmer’s Washable school glue gel (the blue stuff) as a resist! Want more…read the book 
Blue glue gel as a resist? I wonder if it would work on paper arts too realizing of course, that it needs to be washed off at some point. I buy resist stuff and it always dries up on me before I use it so I cancel my project, buy some more, it dries up before…..so this sounds like an idea to explore. If this is what the book is like it’ll have to go on my wish list.
