Print Style: Hand-Printed Patterns for Home Decoration

Make unique hand-painted fabrics, wall coverings, cards, wrapping paper, and bedspreads. Try printing fishes, blocks, trees, soldiers, and much more with a potato. Illustrated instructions take you through each step, from initial design to color selection, to the actual print. More advanced techniques of block (lino-cut) printing, resist printing, silk-screening, and mixed styles give alternate methods to explore. A myriad of templates make it easy to master the motifs and inspire you to create your own, for a stamp of originality around your home.

Arts & Photography

<p>The authors show, in practical detail, how non-professionals can reproduce some of their designs and effects for patterned ceramic ware. They combine a selection of decorative themes and step-by-step instruction.</p>

History & Criticism

<p>Enliven your home with bursts of color and brightness of hand-printed patterns! These techniques -- so simple that even a beginner will get great results -- can embellish so many different items. Master five forms of printing, design patterns and motifs, and complete more than 20 great projects. Did you know a potato could help you decorate? Just cut out a pattern, dip it in ink or paint, and press! Build complex, multicolored silk screen motifs. In resist-dyeing, wax prevents the dye from seeping into parts of the fabric, allowing a pattern to develop. Experiment with a potato-printed, Nepalese-inspired fish design. Admire your handiwork in the Free shadings of a resist-dyed seagull pattern hanging on the wall. The results will make you the envy of all your friends.</p>
