This review is from: Fantastic Floorcloths You Can Paint in a Day (Paperback)

I bought this book and another book because I wanted to paint a floor cloth rather than pay $1000 for one from a gallery.

Instuctions were great...told me the correct materials to buy and I painted a beautiful floor cloth...that I designed

I would have given it five stars but I don't think one can paint a quality floor cloth in a day and why would you want to.

I am an Art Teacher. I've just completed a semester of teaching "Multicultural Arts from Ancient History" We painted floor cloths and this book was invaluable. Many of my students found inspiration here to tackle a large floor cloth. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to paint a floor cloth! Jan B.
