This review is from: Complex Cloth: A Comprehensive Guide to Surface Design (Paperback)

Well written, easy to follow resource book that I highly recommend. Dunnewold provides a learning tool that encourages experimentation through clear and concise instructions on a large number of techniques suitable for making art cloth. The book concludes with a series of projects that provide an excellent starting point for experimentation. This book is an essential in the studio.

Terrific book and I've taken 4 of her classes. She keeps on coming up with ideas--enough for another book or two. This is an excellent resource and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in surface design on fabric.
