Customer Reviews
Good one for the bookshelf
Judy is well known for glass painting, and a number of the cards in this book feature glass painting on acetate to form the central image.She also features dry embossing on metal foil as well as stamping.The book contains a number of templates to recreate the images on acetate, and the cards are clearly photographed, as are the step by step pictures,and the written instructions are clearly worded.A nice book, more aimed (I feel)towards the starter, rather than the experienced crafter.
