Beautiful and Informative

I found this book at my local library and am now buying my own copy. It is informative, with lots of examples, covers all the variables of the different products you can use for silk painting and easy for a beginner to follow. It also includes the templates for the many projects included in the book. I absolutely recommend this book.
