Editorial Review:

It’s the natural inconsistencies—the accidental differences between one finished piece and another—that make hand-printed fabrics, papers, furniture, and works of art so interesting. The quirks are what show the maker’s intimate involvement in the process, and it’s that unique quality that first attracted textile designer and illustrator Lena Corwin to hand-printing.

Even though decorative prints are more in vogue than ever, there was until now no up-to-date hand-printing guide—no single source explaining the tools and materials that are used today, or reflecting a contemporary aesthetic. Corwin has given us that guide.

Using step-by-step instructions and up-close photos, Corwin teaches crafters everything they need to know to master stamping, stenciling, and screen printing, from making their own printing devices to trouble-shooting when plans go awry. Her inimitable collection of projects ranges from stamped stationery and simple-to-sew pouches, to stenciled tote bags and furniture, to screen-printed bed linens and upholstery fabric. There’s even a silk-screened dog bed. The author has created original artwork for each project (full-size patterns are included in an envelope at the back of the book), so that every crafter can achieve the same beautiful results. Or maybe not quite the same. Remember: It’s the subtle differences that make hand-printing so special and alluring.

My Favorite 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is my favorite craft author, although I only know of a few of her books. I have her 'Rubber Stamper's Bible' and '100 Great Ways To Use Rubber Stamps'. I keep coming back to these books for inspiration and ideas. Both books are excellent resources with numbered, illustrated steps, list of supplies for each project, and suppliers from UK, USA, and Canada.

Talented crafter Francoise Reid takes the reader from the must-know basics of tools, materials and key rubber stamping techniques, through to her design and layout secrets. She then moves on to the technique-led projects that introduce new and unusual methods that beginners and intermediate crafters will love, but also ensures a creative level that will inspire and challenge even the most experienced stampers.

Lots of Ideas, more than just stamping 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This book is exceptionally great because you're doing more than just rubber stamping, it's rubber stamping and beyond.

The book is well done, has lots of ideas and explains each creation very well. It's a big book and well worth the money. I bought the Quick and Clever Handmade Cards book along with this, it's not done as well and has less ideas and doesn't explain well either.

If you like variety and something different, but easy to do, I highly recommend this book!

What a Beautiful Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
40 of 41 people found this review helpful.

I had the priviledge to meet the author at Stampfest in Orlando this summer when I took her watercolor class using rubber stamps. Kathie is a wonderful teacher so I was excited to buy her book when it was finally published. I can honestly say it has surpassed my expectations!! I have been addicted to card making and rubber stamping for just over 2 years now so I've read many books and magaiznes on papercrafts and this is by far one of the best books I've come across! The book is full of beautiful projects and full of color photographs with step-by-step instructions that a beginner can easily follow but the book also has projects that will appeal to more experienced stampers as well. This is a great book for both learning and will provide inspiration as well. I'm giving it as a gift to my rubber-stamping friends this holiday season. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in rubber stamping!!

great pictures 5 star, -dangerous info - 1 star 1 out of 5 stars.
61 of 71 people found this review helpful.

Again, Sherrill has produced a book worth examining for wonderful pictures, and step-by-step techniques. My greatest concern is once again finding the trademarked material TYVEK utilized in craft work. The makers of TYVEK specifically have stated it is never to be heated or used other than for what it is specifically designed for. Deathly toxic, once more it is appalling to find it used with a 'heat outdoors' statement attached. Does the company know this material is being used this way??? As an art educator I must not only be aware of this safety info for myself but for my students. Poor editing let this one slip by.

Editorial Review:

With Sherrill Kahn’s new book, mixed media plus stamping equals breathtaking artistic creations. There’s no end to the projects crafters will be able to create after being introduced to the wide variety of materials and techniques in this must- have book. Readers will learn how to: Create layers of color and texture through embossing Make unique jewelry using children’s puzzle pieces Transform three-dimensional objects, including buttons, books and wire Stamp on such alternative surfaces as glass blocks, metal and wood Decorate and mount ceramic tiles Emboss velvet and create fabric motifs And much, much more! Each idea is accompanied by thoughtfully organized step-by-step instructions, and most include directions for simple sample project—so easy even beginners can begin right away.

Sherrill Kahn has been creating award-winning artwork for nearly 40 years. She runs a stamp company called Impress Me and lives in Encino, California.
