Readers will learn to make flat figures, fabric books, and a fairy-style fan. Culea covers the basics and provides new techniques, such as using Shiva paint sticks and stencils, working with silk rods and waste, and using lace and trims as a frame while teaching you to how create a flat figure doll, memory journal with embellished cloth pages, and a beautiful fan. Professional tips, ideas for embellishments, cutting-edge techniques, and complete patterns for all the projects are included.
