While I was on the fabric.com site, I noticed they had a
sale on Shiva Paintstiks --half price! I have long wanted to try them out. How could I
resist since the addition to my order provided me with free shipping and
therefore the Paintstiks were virtually free.
I ordered this
I did not know they would come with this book
It works out very well for me. I had recently added this
book by Ruth Chandler,
Liz Kettle, Heather Thomas, and Lauren Vlcek
to my personal library and I have hopes of using it like a workbook to try
new techniques. It is spiral bound which I think is BRILLIANT. I think I invented that. Most
of the books in my library that I needed to use flat, I ordered in paperback if
they were available that way. Then I took them to one of my local business and
printing centers and had them sliced and spiral or comb bound.
THIS book is a HARDback and comes already spiraled! BRILLIANT. Yes, it
is worth two brilliants. Each technique is wonderfully described and the
photography enhances rather than detracts. Some books I have show pictures
thrown in by a clueless editor who knows photography sells a book about art but
has no clue how to use it.
Even if it is a day when I can not get out my plastic table covering and
paints or set up my machine and clear my work area of everything except shiny
threads, I can read through the book and find something to think about.
