Great Content,

This review is from: Transparent Art (Paperback)
This soft cover on transparent art, though a little pricey, finally puts techniques for using this medium all in one place for those who are serious about learning how to use transfer medium in their artwork. As with most books of this type, the artist/crafter must own or invest in a significant amount of other supplies in order to duplicate the projects. The book is well done; the explanations clear; the photographs of the processes clear. Somerset Studio, as usual, has done a good job.

All you ever wanted to know about transparent art - and more,

This review is from: Transparent Art (Paperback)
A virtual textbook of Transparent Art, it includes large close-up photos, step-by-step how-tos, step-by-step techniques, and so much information & inspiration that you really will find something new every time you open this book.You may be able to find one or even several techniques for working transparently in some of the other altered art how-to books, but NOWHERE ELSE will you find so much for so little. This book is an excellent value in every way.

Beautiful!,
By Jennifer Cushman (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transparent Art (Paperback)
Being a huge fan of Somerset Studio, I had an inkling before I ever saw this book that it was going to be gorgeous. It truly is a work of art. The projects are breathtaking, the paper quality, printing quality and photography of this book are exceptional.Unlike some of the altered art books hitting the market, Transparent Art's projects/tips/instructions are on the cutting edge of the paper arts industry. After reading this book, I started playing around with transparencies in earnest. The information elevated the quality of my own mixed media art pieces immensely. I am jazzed by some of the results and have surprised even myself! I have a special shelf in my bookcase for my absolute favorite books that I return to again and again for inspiration. Transparent Art went immediately on this shelf when I finished reading it.
