I have learned so much from this book. Holly Brackmann explains not only the how-to aspect of surface design in incredible detail & easy-to-follow steps, but also the how-it-works aspect of the processes. She begins her book with an all-important chapter on safety and then goes on to explain dyes, fibers & fabrics, followed by a chapter on color. Then she gets into explaining not only dyes (e.g., fiber-reactive, acid, vat, and disperse), but also discharging, screen printing, monoprinting, stamping, stenciling, resists, devore, textile painting, & embellishments. I love the clear instructions of the processes and the amazing photos, but what I love the most is that she empowers the user to explore and become profient in the processes. That empowering of the student is the mark of a great teacher. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) See less

This is a three DVD set and is the entire Complex Cloth workshop. The demonstrations begin with dyeing and overdyeing and include all the processes used to generate a layered surface - discharging with discharge paste and also chlorine products, extensive information on textile paints, and also foiling. In addition to the wet processes, Jane also discusses and demonstrates stamp carving, making a stencil from interfacing, and two silkscreen surfaces that are easy to make without any special light set-up. The demonstrations cover everything in the book Complex Cloth , but in an updated and expanded format. Filmed at Art Cloth Studios, this three hour presentation is the most complete information currently available as a DVD. Viewing and reviewing these demonstrations will be just like coming to San Antonio for the week long workshop! Except that you'll miss the great Mexican food! See less

Sandra McCall, author of 2 books on stamp art, inspires artists and crafters in whole new ways with her fabulous new DVD about transforming even basic cotton muslin fabric with paint and stamps into amazing works of art! Dharma’s white rayon/silk velvet scarves become exquisite works of wearable art with Fiber Reactive Dye, rubber stamps, fabric markers and beads. Sandra demonstrates how to emboss the velvet with rubber stamps and how to string delicate bead fringe to the ends of the scarf for a very artful touch. Her artistry shines when she transforms black Dharma clothing blanks (#BR32B & BR16B) into an elegant ensemble. Her techniques work equally well on dyed Dharma blanks. Sandra also shows how to create elegant fabric beads, jewelry, purses and books with inexpensive cotton muslin, paint (Lumiere and Neopaque, among others) and a few rubber stamps. For the jewelry segment, she even teaches a great lesson on how to use a soldering iron! With over 100 minutes of projects, tips,... See less
