Create Your Own Hand-Printed Cloth by Rayna Gillman will have you putting your own 'stamp' on fabric as soon as you read it. This book offers tips and information about fabric painting and dyeing, screenprinting, stenciling, rubbings, and more. I was especially interested in the chapter about soy wax batiking. This is something I have been getting interested in for a long time, given the facts about the safety of this was. You can also remove the wax without having to take the fabric to a dry cleaner.
I have just begun trying to make my own fabrics, and this book will be a great assistance to anything I try to produce. Gillman writes the book for people who don't have the more expensive tools, that experts try to recommend for beginners. I really appreciate that fact and I think other readers will too. This is a wonderful book trying out new techniques without having to spend a lot of money in the process.
