Review by Booklist Review

It's always time to celebrate new crafts talent, especially one who translates pattern into simple, effective, and striking design. That's the calling of Joyce, who, in her first book, nails the concept of a universal appeal as applied to wearables and decorateables. Wisely realizing the aptitudes required for stamp, stencil, and paint vary, she separates each, allotting space for covering the basics, kits needed, and tips and tricks for success as well as the seven to eight projects for each technique. The designs are colorful and streamlined, suitable for any interior or personal style; directions include all the expected information, color photographs, plus hints to enable success. Sidebars help, too; especially compelling is her half-page almost soliloquy on a place to make, seeking a creative room for inspiration and comfort. Hard choices to make: geometric throw pillows, folk-art barn lamp, playful ceramics platters, simple cotton quilt. Appended: templates (eight pages); resources.--Jacobs, Barbara Copyright 2015 Booklist
