Fabric painting is a popular craft all over the world but many people start enthusiastically without any formal instructions and give up when all goes wrong. This book is a practical, step-by-step guide to fabric painting with advice on the equipment and paint required, different types of fabric available, colour and painting techniques. Step-by-step instructions and illustrations describe how to paint fruit, flowers and leaves and how to make up the painted fabric into tablecloths, serviettes, traycloths, place-mats, tea cosies, curtains and blinds, and clothing. Black and white pattens of the various designs are also included at the back of the book. Illustrated throughout with full colour diagrams and photographs, Painting on Fabric is written by an experienced artist in clear and easy-to-understand language. Beginners will find it indispensable and the more experienced will love the beautiful range of designs.
Tharina Odendaal is an experienced artist whose fabric painting is sold on craft markets in Gauteng, South Africa. Anika Pretorius is also the author of Gifts from the Home, published by Struik. Both live in Gauteng, South Africa.
