Customer Reviews

Love the art techniques!

I bought Trudy's other book, Embellished Emotions (love!), first and then came looking for more books by her and found Tantalizing Textures. I was a little unsure if I wanted this book because I didn't think my pages really needed texture or that it would add anything, but I'm so glad I bought it! If you liked Embellished Emotions, you'll like this book, too. It's written in the same style and has lots of cool, fun art techniques to try. The book is broken down by type of material: textiles, metal, natural elements, art mediums (crackle, alcohol inks, batik resist medium, etc), paper and clear elements (acrylics, beds, shrinky plastic, etc). I find this book very inspiring and I constantly go back to it and look at all the fine details to gain ideas for my pages and embellishments. It was a great investment, I would recommend it to a friend, and if I had to, I'd buy it again! The only down side? I wish it were twice as long!

Fantastic Book on Scrapbooking

I check out a lot of books from the library. Most books on the subject of scrapbooking, my favorite hobby, give me an idea or two. Sometimes they are even returned without a second glance. When I picked up "Tantalizing Textures", I knew I had to have it for my personal library. This is the best book I have found on the subject for two reasons. First, it is filled with creative and unique techniques that can be employed on my scrapbook pages. Detailed and easy to understand instructions are included. Second, author Trudy Sigurdson is a gifted scrapper. Each and every layout is a work of art and filled with wonderful ideas. Her design is worth studying. Each page comes with a supply and manufacture list, so I can locate difficult to find items. If you are looking for a book to get you out of your scrapbook rut, this is one to buy.

COOL!

This book has a million and one great ideas for adding texture to your pages. Lots of things I had never thought of trying before. I am definately going to be referring to this book a lot!
