Customer Reviews

Awesome inspiration and plenty of info, but not for newbies

This book gives you all the basic information you need to re-create the amazing shirts shown here. If you need such basic information as how to fold a T for tie-dyeing, you need another book. The inspiration here is worth twice the price of the book. Discharge dyeing and overdyeing are used to tremendous effect. This book puts t-shirt art on another level.

Great ideas!

Are you one of those people who requires paint-by-number picture kits, and dotes on full step-by-step Martha-style craft instructions? If so, don't bother with this book. If, however, you are capable of finding information on basic techniques once you realize that you want to try them, the many different great ideas in this book are just the thing! I would never have thought to tie-BLEACH a garment before dyeing it, for wonderful lightening-bolt effects, for example. All I need is good pictures of good project ideas, with a little info on what types of techniques and materials to use; I don't need someone to hold my hand and murmur reassurances as I go along. I was amazed to see another review of this book dismissing it for doing what it does so well!
