Fabulous Floorcloths: Create Contemporary Floor ... (ISBN 0801990548)

Categories:


Amazon.com Review:
If you want to create an exciting focal point for a room or disguise a boring floor, a colorful floorcloth may be the solution. Created from heavy canvas and adorned with paint, stencils, stamps, paper decoupage, or fabric appliqué, a floorcloth can be a simple accent or a work of art. Consult this book for excellent directions on materials, preparation, finishing, and an array of decorative techniques. The 15 step-by-step projects are divided into simple, intermediate, and advanced, so you can jump in at whatever skill level feels comfortable. Greet visitors with a stenciled welcome mat bordered with paper-napkin decoupage, perk up a bedroom with a Victorian lace design made by spray painting over paper doilies to form the delicate pattern, step into a pool of light with a circle of faux stained glass, or bedeck a table with a runner sporting classical Greek figures. The designs are pleasant and the color illustrations adequate; more photos of the finished floorcloths in actual rooms would have been nice to give a better sense of scale and context. But the thorough instructions and smattering of helpful tips make the book worthwhile. --Amy Handy


So many possibilities:
If you are interested in crafting or just want to add that special touch to your home, this book is a good way to get started. Not only does the author explain in detail the tools you will need to create that masterpiece, she also explains interesting techniques and design ideas. Directions are very easy to follow. Really jumpstarts your creativity


Fabulous Floorcloths: Fabulous Indeed!:
A great introduction to the art of making floorcoverings which even a master would appreciate. Wonderful illustrations and straight forward instructions to help anyone turn a floorcloth dream into a reality. Thank you for a well done and helpful work.
