Review
In Create Your Own Hand-printed Cloth, the fabrics are wonderful and inspiring, the instructions are easy to follow, and the ideas are abundant. Not only does Rayna teach readers the basics, she provides them with the information and tools needed to take their fabrics as far as creatively possible. (Quilting Arts Magazine )
Review
If you don't have a copy of Rayna Gillman's new book 'create your own hand-printed cloth', you need to get one quick. It's Fabulous! The photography is pure eye candy and Rayna's fun loving personality comes through loud and clear. The instructions are well written and the samples are fantastic. I LOVE books and own a vast collection, however, there are 12-15 books that are very special to me. Rayna's book instantly jumped into this special collection.

This is a terrific resource for any fiber artist and is well written and beautifully illustrated. Gillman covers printing, stamping, stenciling, screening printing with paints and thickened dyes, and the hard-to-find instructions for the deconstructed screen-printing and gelatin monoprint techniques that are so popular now. One of the most valuable chapters is the final one, Going Back In, where she guides you to redeeming boring fabric, brightening dark fabrics, or relating pieces with similar colors. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more painting and dyeing techniques, and to teachers: There are great projects for all ages.

All work has come to a standstill here now that the mail carrier arrived with Rayna Gillman's new book, "Create your own hand-printed cloth: Stamp, screen & stencil with everyday objects." I am fighting the urge to lock myself in a room away from my kids (they can forage for their own lunch, can't they?) and read the whole thing non-stop. Gillman covers stamping and stenciling with found objects; random screen printing; gelatin plate printing; screen printing with thickened dyes; discharge painting; soy wax batik; and rubbings.
For each technique, there are lots of detailed directions and excellent photos to accompany them. She also provides supply lists (and websites where you can buy the supplies).
Within a week after getting this book, I met with a group of fiber art friends and we played with stamping using found objects, guided by the book. The results were great. This is a book I will really USE. And I can't wait to try more of these techniques.

Format:Paperback
The surface design possibilities are endless and Rayna presents all the tools and techniques with a "you can do this" playful attitude. In this one book she covers so many techniques that it will be a great addition to your fiber library to be used over and over again. She opens your eyes to household items that you will be able to use to transform ho-hum fabric into one of-a-kind art cloth. She has opened up the candy box, now jump in and PLAY!
