truly inspiring - By: K. Platt, 15 Nov 2008 
Wow. This is one inspirational book. The cover is very intriguing & whets the appetite for a book that does not fail to deliver. This beautifully presented book shows you how to take an image from photocopy to painting & how to transfer it into textile art. Projects include books to bangles & much more besides.
The methods used are uncomplicated & are therefore suitable for beginners or experienced stitchers alike. No technical knowledge is necessary to follow the precise instructions. Having produced an image by whatever means, this book then shows you how to transform that image by hand or machine embroidery. I love the creativity of this book, Maggie Grey is a true guiding light & will boost your own imagination to produce exciting pieces of textile art. This is a fascinating side of stitching, fully exploredin this book .
My own ideas on this have only just begun to form after I saw a textile artist printing on silk through an inkjet printer. My imagination was fired & this book presents me with the know-how to complete the projects running aroundin my head. This is a very comprehensive book, covering many techniques. I find it invaluable.
Another great book from Maggie - By: Jewelsk, 26 Jul 2008 Just bought this - an excellent purchase. Full of inspiring examples, great ideas to try out, & hints & tips - all illustrated with clear colour photos. Recommended for anyone doing City & Guilds - especially the "Creative Computing into Textiles" course.
