Add to Wish List Transfer to Transform |
Transfer paints are so underused and undervalued that we thought it was time to redress the balance and give them a fair hearing. So often we hear people groan at the mention of the words. They say they have tried them in the past but the results were unsatisfactory or the colors garish and unpredictable.
In this book we aim to shatter some of the negative attitudes towards these underrated fabric paints by exploring strategies for developing color sensitivity as well as awareness of fabric and surface qualities which may be enriched by transfer coloring in any of its many forms. As with other potentially exciting techniques the secret lies in working at it through a series of experimental samples to discover the huge possibilities.
