Reviews

Enter the magical world of Kelli Perkins. This wondrous book is subtitled 'Give Your Projects a Creative Boost With Paper-Cloth Fusion' and is brimming with creative ideas. Those familiar with Interweave 'Cloth, Paper, Scissors' magazine will recognise the name of this artist. The colourful cover gives a hint as to what to find inside. I don't think there is a single thing Kelli left out of this book - it is simply perfect and a big favourite with me. Transform your mixed media projects with some of Kelli's artful ideas that can be applied to art quilts, paper dolls and so much more. If you are interested in altered art, found or recycled art, then this is for you.-KarenPlatt.co.uk
