Review
What fun this book is - and so simple. This is a fun technique, great for children and I think there could be lots of possibilities for stretching the technique beyond the basic that are shown. Workshop on the Web Following Natural Dyes, the author introduces flower pounding, a simple, traditional technique for transferring leaf and flower patterns, colours and shapes to cloth. The effects are subtle but Linda suggests ways to incorporate the technique into stitch and ways to preserve your work. Embroidery magazine
