Summary

The possibilities for dyeing, painting and decorating fabric are endless. By experimenting with the many different types of fabric and methods of coloring available, it is possible to transform the simplest of household objects into highly individual pieces. Cushions, placemats, tablecloths, even the shower curtain, can become something quite different once a little paint is added. Book jacket.
