This is the best book on fabric painting I have read.

I have been drawn into the world of textile art through the pathway of silk ribbon flowers, then silk ribbon embroidery and silk dyeing and now fabric painting. For those who are interested in creating wearable art, not just cutesy decorated T-shirts and sweatshirts shown in most craft books, this is the best book on fabric PAINTING (not dyeing) I have seen among the many I have read. Porcella's work is so beautiful and inspiring, the reader's imagination really takes wing. The techniques described are simple, the instructions clear. If you're interested in this craft, this is the first book you should read.
