Simply this

the long version

Simply, this is a craft book that celebrates natural tones, organic textures and found objects. Fiona Fagan shows you how to print your own beautifully patterned fabric using stencils that can easily be found around the home. The book also includes over 30 projects you can then use to create a unique gift or something special for yourself, for any area of your home - the bedroom, the kitchen or the living room. Fiona Fagan also shows you how to recycle - using found or treasured materials to embellish and add to your designs, making each project different. Spend a morning or a weekend and create a new look to your dining room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. Add a designer touch to your personal objects as well. Linen and cotton are ideal for these projects and with some simple recycle all the projects are not expensive to make. The fabric-dyeing processes are cheap, safe and easy to do in any home kitchen with no messy chemicals or complicated processes. Fiona also shows you how to create that amazing Japanese printing technique - Shibori. The book includes step-by-step photography on all the projects to guide you through each stage of the project with ease.
