Product Description
From Library Journal
These two books might very well be used in conjunction. The Ultimate T-Shirt Book, while including a good deal of instructional material, is primarily a showcase of the possibilities of the T-shirt as a blank canvas for artisans working in batik, tie-dye, painting, marbling, stamping, and screen printing. Dyes & Paints is an excellent hands-on reference manual that should be in the collection of anyone working with fabric dyes. Large public libraries should consider both these books; academic libraries will want Nobel's.

This review is from: Dyes & Paints: A Hands-On Guide to Coloring Fabric (Paperback)
Without a doubt, this is the most comprehensive title marketed in this field.The instructions are clear, concise and well-thought out.Even though I am an experienced dyer and painter,(thank's to the incredible teaching expertise of co-author Karen Perrine), I am especially grateful for the hands-on visuals demonstrating processes!The photographs are both stimulating and inspiring. This is an incredible reference book and I recommend it highly to my peers, associates and students.

A library of Information in one book,
By "woosang" (Mortdale, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dyes & Paints: A Hands-On Guide to Coloring Fabric (Paperback)
I didn't give this book 5 stars because it has one fault. It's price!! But save up and buy it because it has the most comprehensive information in one package. It gives even the beginner a flying start in the art of dyeing. lin Noble tells you about how to use resists and fiber-reactive dyes; how to marble and how to use direct application dyeing, immersion dyeing,and paints to use on textiles. She includes the recipies for each project and a lot of background information that build you knowledge not just "parroting" styles. Once you have read this book, you have the foundations to move beyond the basics and develope your own ideas. There are resources in the back for the people in the US but not much use for those of us from overseas.Excellent and a must for any fabric artist's bookshelf
