Creative Stamping with Mixed Media Techniques

"Creative Stamping with Mixed Media Techniques" is a great book and it was everything I thought it would be! It gave me many great ideas. As an artist of hand crafted note cards this book is of great value to me.

Sherrill has no fear of color therefore her books always just 'grab' me. Techniques are new and interesting.

If you love stamping and sewing like I do, this is the book for you. Clearly written and leads you to your own creativity!

Creative Stamping with Mixed Media Techniques is another valuable resource and creative inspiration book from Sherrill Kahn. Both books by Ms. Kahn are full of outstanding photographs to inspired dozens of mixed media adventures. Her work is bold and colorful, and incorporates numerous mixed media techniques that are easily accessible to all readers. There are dozens of project ideas in the book that will satisfy crafters, and even more valuable are the demonstrations of painting and stamping techniques that readers can explore and adapt to their own artwork and projects.

If you love rubber stamping and painting on fabric, you need just two books: this one and the author's first, Creating with Paint. I have both books and love them equally-and, more importantly--I USE them extensively in my own artwork.I have also taken two workshops with the author, Sherrill Kahn, and highly recommend them. Take a workshop with Sherrill if you can! She's a very encouraging, supportive and inspiring teacher, and all of these qualities come across in her two books.One of my favorite aspects of Creative Stamping is that Sherrill shows you in step-by-step photos how she layers dyes, paint and stamping techniques to arrive at her highly complex fabrics. It's easy once you see how she does it, and that's why Creative Stamping is a must-have for any fabric painters library.Lots of information, inspiration, and some great how-to projects make Creative Stamping well worth the investment.Check out Sherrill's web site: www.impressmenow.com.
