Add Texture to Fabric, Craft and Mixed-Media Projects
ONE TOOL • TWELVE TECHNIQUES
If you love texture, this book is for you! Rubbing Plate Roundup is the definitive guide to adding visual and dimensional texture to your fabric and craft projects with the simplest tool imaginable – the simple plastic rubbing plate.
Join Shelly Stokes – author, entrepreneur, artist and teacher – for a leisurely tour of not one, not five, but twelve completely different techniques for adding texture to your art. From gelatin prints and paintstik rubbings to embossed metal and paper castings, you’ll be amazed at the range of possibilities!
Whether you are a crafter, quilter, potter or mixed-media artist, you’ll find useful techniques in familiar territory – and plenty of inspiration for venturing off on new artistic trails. Each technique is fully illustrated with complete supply lists, clear instructions and beautiful step-by-step photographs.
Fire up your imagination, gather your collection of rubbing plates and get started – you’ll be creating textured treasures from fabric, paper, clay, metal and paint before you know it!
