Lotta Prints is great!

I got this book this weekend, after eagerly anticipating it for a while now. It really is a teriffic book, with great photos and great ideas. I love that there are usable stencils in the back of the book. Lotta shows you the many ways to print images on to all kinds of objects including walls, clothes, paper, etc. A must-have for any lover of crafts.

Simply Wonderful!

I received my copy yesterday and I couldn't stop reading, it's an exciting guide to the beautiful world of Lotta's printing techniques and inspirations, a beautifully designed book from start to finish, excellent photography printed in smooth textured paper, it's style reminds me of her other books published in Japan -Lotta's Lifestyle - and - Handmade Project -. I also own Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects witch I enjoyed very much but this new book is definitely her best book published in the USA, Lotta's writing is sincere and simple, If you are thinking in buying - Lotta Prints - I recommend you get it, you're in for a Wonderful Treat!
