Editorial Review

In the centuries-old tradition of the true porcelain artist, Astrid de Sartiges creates exquisite little works of art on porcelain tableware. Cups and saucers, plates and platters, bowls and candlesticks are strewn with delicate draftsmanship in lovely colors, featuring dainty florals, striking graphics (an elaborate alphabet in red on a bright yellow plate), hints of whimsy (tiny people walking their dogs past a townhouse facade on a teacup), and exotic touches (a full dinner set sporting scenes inspired by the Arabian Nights). In addition to color photos of the finished product and colored painting diagrams, complete pattern templates are included. The general techniques section, however, as well as the individual step-by-step instructions, are quite superficial, indicating a presumption that readers are already fairly experienced with the craft. Beginners will also be put off by the fact that these specialty paints must be fired in a special porcelain oven. But the beauty of these designs should not be reserved only for the advanced porcelain painter: The patterns are equally appropriate for use with ordinary glass paint that air-dries or sets in a home oven, or with regular craft paint on any applicable surface. These designs are also perfect for devotees of do-it-yourself ceramic-painting centers, which supply bisqueware and glazes and then fire the finished pieces for you. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Take some time to create a fabulous faux!
Tera Leigh's book Faux Mosiacs is a fabulous find.I too am a great lover of mosiac but with a toddler and a career who has the time to break out the old plates and create and old fashioned masterpiece?I love this method for creating artistic frames (I feature one in my book "Craft the Perfect Frame"), creating one of a kind home accents, and creating great gifts for friends.You can easily knock out any one or two of these fun projects in an evening giving yourself a well needed sense of creative accomplishment. Kids can also easily join in on this version of mosiac, not only a great "I'm bored" eraser but a fantastic creative activity to create gifts for friends and teachers.
5-0 out of 5 stars So Easy, So Quick, So Beautiful
I've often admired the look of mosaic tile, but just couldn't deal with the mess, tools, and time involved in the original technique.Then I found this book -- AMAZING!"Faux Mosaics" look like the real thing, without a bunch of expensive tools and tricky application techniques.Don't be fooled by the words "tile" and "grout" in this book; the tile is any piece of paper, and the grout is a brush-on finish that's a snap to apply.Best of all, you don't have to be "crafty" to make beautiful mosaic look-alikes.Ms. Leigh's super-simple technique is explained so well that virtually anyone can get FANTASTIC RESULTS.And she shows so many wonderful project ideas -- you'll never run out of items to transform into works of art for your home and unique gifts for friends and family. This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who has ever admired mosaics ... I'm sure you'll use and love it as much as I have! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Pumpkin carving is probably as old as Halloween itself, but pumpkin painting is a relatively new development. Painted pumpkins last longer than carved ones and allow for very different looks. The kit includes eight paints, two brushes, a bag of fake spider-web material, and assorted craft supplies for adding extra dimensional features like hair, hands, feet, claws, wings, and protruding eyeballs. The book offers dozens of fun designs for pumpkin adornment: paint a scary monster, a frightening skull, a spooky cat, or (especially if there are very little tykes around) try something more welcoming, such as a bunny, turkey, dog, clown, or friendly witch. With 74 ideas plus 6 bonus patterns, there's sure to be something here to encourage any budding pumpkin artist. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Truly a simple approach
I refer to this book time and time again.It has good, basic information for novices, and moves on to a few more sophisticated techniques since it doesn't take long to master the basics, and fabric painting is so addictive, it is nice to have a few more sophisticated techniques ready to dive into.

5-0 out of 5 stars A terrific, "user friendly" book for hobbyiests and artists.

Editorial Review

"There are as many ways to paint a subject using decorative painting techniques as there are decorative painters," says expert painter and masterful teacher Andy Jones. Though it may take a while to reach a high degree of proficiency, the systematic nature of the form means that even beginners can produce competent results. Yet there is still much room for creativity: following step-by-step instructions does not have to produce a formulaic outcome; quite to the contrary, as this adroitly presented guide makes clear. Once you learn the basics and practice the exercises, you'll be well equipped not only to do justice to the lovely projects, but also to design your own. Jones's approach is very thorough; he offers solid information (for both acrylics and oils) on all aspects of equipment, preparations, and basic techniques, then presents 13 projects in detail. He bedecks crockery, a cutting board, and a serving tray with luscious fruits, and strews beautiful flowers over boxes, lampshades, and frames. His results are gorgeous, and best of all, yours can be, too. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An extremely helpful introduction to acrylics
I was unsure of buying this book because it was unreviewed and I had not heard of the author.I'm very glad I took the chance.I've been dabbling with acrylic painting for the last year or so (with no other painting or art experience), and I'm still a pretty rank beginner.I have several other books on acrylic painting.Some of them I like very well, but this is the one I was able to follow the most easily and wind up with something approximating "art."
