Overview
Let creativity reign! Express yourself using exciting painting techniques like stamping and dcoupage to make fabulous floorcloths. They're a terrific alternative to a rug and can tie together a decorative scheme or provide the ultimate finishing touch to a room. Produce splendid designs in a rainbow of colors: replicate the appearance of bricks or marble, paint a jolly Santa Claus and celebrate the holidays in festive style, or come up with your own vision of a pond brimming with creatures and capture it in acrylics. Stencil glorious flowers that remind you of the pleasures of gardening, or a fun children's design such as big, bright balloons floating among fluffy clouds. Or get the kids involved and let them "handprint" a motif to jazz up their bedroom. Plus: information on preparation, planning a layout, and hemming, varnishing, and finishing a floorcloth.Editorials
Library Journal
Plaid, the manufacturer of painting, stenciling, and other decorative paint products, gives instructions for making floorcloths with their products. The beautifully decorated cloths are created using techniques such as faux stone, stenciling, decoupage, stamping, and decorative painting. Unlike Caroline Kuchinsky's Fabulous Floorcloths (LJ 9/15/98), which provided simple and intermediate-skilled projects, this book is best suited for experienced painters because of the poorly illustrated instructions.
