Hard Cover Quality In a Paperback
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Grab this book without hesitation!I saw the author on the show, "Home Matters" and was instantly motivated to buy this book. When I saw that it was available in both hard- and soft- cover verrsions, my decision was difficult. Usually saving a few bucks on the paperback version of any book means sacrificing quality; thin paper, fewer illustrations, shortened versions. etc. When I opted to buy this in the paperback form, I was expecting the usual compromises. I was, joyfully, wrong! This book not only boasts the easy instructions and wonderful pictorials of the hardcover version, it also has wonderful, high quality paper stock rarely found even in hardcover these days. The quality of this book will stand up to years of planning and crafting!
The best stenciling book I've found
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is my favorite stenciling book, and I have quite a number of them. The only one that comes close is her sequel: Projection Stenciling. Ms. Buckingham has developed a remarkably easy, yet professional looking technique that can be easily used by anyone. The results resemble paintings or murals more than stencils because of the lack of stencil "bridges" that the usual stencils have. I have used several of her ideas and am relishing the thought of further projects. You will love this book!
Stencilling on a Grand Scale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I love this book! It has been great for teaching me to do all kinds of things I didn't know how to do. I have been stencilling for about eight years now, and my stencils looked pretty good, but her ideas makes my stencilling look GREAT! I have many books on how to paint everything you can name in a home. You name it and I have the book on it, but this is the first book that I thought was worth the money I spent on it. I wish I had bought this book eight years ago. I now have no fear in doing a full wall mural in my living room. This book is a have to have if you are into stencilling, or if you would like to start stencilling for the first time. GET IT!
Excellent book for the beginner or expert stenciller

This book is one of the best stencilling books that I have ever used. Her techniques and pictures are terrific and her directions are pretty complete. She makes you want to redecorate every room in your house with PAINT. Food for your creative mind. I loved it!
I've seen them all and this is the BEST
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The absolutely definititive book on stenciling today. The author has her finger on the pulse of what artisans are looking for today in the quickly expanding field of decorative art. She leads the reader through uncharted territory for most and explains things in a clear and concise manner that allows the beginner to understand and the expert to grow. Her use of step-by-step pictures helps even the most artistically handicapped feel as though they could conqure this fast-growing and changing craft. Ms. Buckingham uses a combination of pre-cut stencils and directions for making your own. One word of caution, however; the pictures should come with the disclaimer, "Yes, this really is a stencil!"
