Learn surface design for textiles, to create rich and personally expressive fabric surfaces. Projects by expert Susan Brandeis (author of the bestselling The Intentional Thread) help a range of levels--from beginners to experts--experiment with each method.

- Covers wet techniques in detail: application and layering of textile dyes, pigments, and chemicals to add color, pattern, and image.

- Dry techniques are covered in a separate companion book--that is, how to combine these handmade fabrics using cutting, piecing, layering, building, and embellishing

- What's the "Cumulative Cloth"? A single cloth that readers add to with each chapter's techniques, eventually creating a piece of art.

- Serves as a go-to reference to check technical procedures and safety guidelines (many methods and ingredients require caution).
