OMG! I LOVE THIS BOOK! I have to admit that I haven't completely read it yet, but that's because it's not the type of book you read. At least I don't because I can't get more than a couple pages in without my head completely spinning with new ideas. But this books has completely revolutionized my work.
Take a base layer of fabric. Coat it with a layer of watered-down glue. Now layer pieces of paper (telephone book pages, tissue paper, napkins, scrapbook paper, whatever) on the fabric....more

Kelli Perkins showed up in my life in the form of a "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" issue where she demonstrated her techniques for making paper fabric. This is one creative book full of wonderful inspiration. I've actually completed one test run, and I have to say, the ideas swirling in my head have made the juices start flowing again. Combine glue, paint, collage and sewing? You've made me one happy girl.
What a fun book! Possibilities are endless. Once I read this book, my hands were inspired and motivated to create ANYTHING.
