Editorial Review

Painting on silk can be an elaborate, labor-intensive process yielding highly artistic creations, but it can also be a relatively simple craft allowing beginners to produce pleasing results. This little book follows the latter approach, demonstrating that with minimal equipment and just a tiny bit of practice, anyone can achieve these brightly hued, cheerful designs. Flowers, sea creatures, farm animals, angels, and abstract designs bedeck pillows, cards, bags, pictures, and other items, all with step-by-step instructions for transferring designs, painting the silk, and making up the finished piece, plus ideas for special effects and tips on choosing silks and paints. If silk painting interests you but complicated projects intimidate you, this is a good place to begin. Read more

10 projects for beginners
I am a little bit disapointed by this book. The section "How to paint" is too short and the explanations are not sufficient, especially for beginners : only the very easy techniques are explained(water, salt) with no step by step illustrations. However, the 10 projectsare nice and easy enough to make. ... Read more

The chemistry and application of dyes
This is a good book to understand application of dye. It is not so much a book of principle as a book of application to industry. So it is enough to recommende to graduate school student, for it is difficult to understand without principle fo organic chemistry. ... Read more

Not deep enough or broad enough
I recieved this book as part of a start up kit on batik.The billing on the book was that it was a good how-to on the batik process.I found it to be remarkably lacking.There was no advice as to how to deal with the more common problems mentioned in the process, and the process, itself was extremely lacking.There were a lot of pretty pictures of batik work from a modern standpoint - but they did not fit in well with the subject matter and seemed more like a "look what I did".There were very few pictures, for example, of the various steps of the process while the artist was in action.Read more
