Consider trying your hand at painting on fabric. In her latest book "Fabric Painting with Cindy Walter" Cindy presents a beginner's guide to fabric painting. She demonstrates 11 techniques from Colorwashes to Painted Quilts. You will find a list of basic supplies and a small sec- tion on color theory. There is a very good section on paint properties such as opaque, transparent etc. etc. This is something you will need to know to determine your end results. I like that each technique is presented with ample color photos, instructions and tips. Some of the techniques you will be learning are: Dry or Wet painting, Colorwash, Scrunching, Heliography (Sun Printing) Almost Shibori, hand painted quilts, Monoprint- ing, Stamping, Stenciling and Rubbings. The gallery offers examples of various finished quilts using the different techniques which will surely inspire. Patterns are included for the painted quilt projects, these include a lovely Akala Hawaiian quilt. All in all this is a wonderful way to start experimenting with fabric paint and all the effects you can create using different techniques. The book is structured that you will be able to just choose a technique you want to try and jump right in. Summer is a great time to play with fabric outdoors and this book is a won- derful way to start creating your own one-of-a-kind fabrics for quilts, crafts, clothing and home decor. --The Applique Societ; 07/10/12<br>
