Great book

What an exciting and creative designer......her designs are resonant with color, and are based on simple motifs - stripes, circles, leaves, and tiger strips - which can be used to create bold, graphic effects as well as more ornate designs. The book has templates and step by step instructions, which clearly show how to transfer these to a variety of plain surfaces using only the most basic materials. Projects will appeal to both the homemaker and artist. Projects range from a deck chair with tiger strips to a dotty lampshade and base, chequered table top and jewellelry boxes, decorative plates, etc.
