Enliven your home with bursts of color and brightness of hand-printed patterns! These techniques -- so simple that even a beginner will get great results -- can embellish so many different items. Master five forms of printing, design patterns and motifs, and complete more than 20 great projects. Did you know a potato could help you decorate? Just cut out a pattern, dip it in ink or paint, and press! Build complex, multicolored silk screen motifs. In resist-dyeing, wax prevents the dye from seeping into parts of the fabric, allowing a pattern to develop. Experiment with a potato-printed, Nepalese-inspired fish design. Admire your handiwork in the Free shadings of a resist-dyed seagull pattern hanging on the wall. The results will make you the envy of all your friends.

Few print technique books present themselves in such a straightforward, accessible manner as this work by Hinchcliffe and Barber, both professional printers of home furnishing accessories. The explanations of the potato, block, and silk-screen printing of textiles and paper and the resist dyeing of textiles could use more step-by-step instructions, but there is enough information to let amateurs get started printing. For libraries where there is an interest in this type of craft.
