Painted Calico & Decoupage (Milner Craft Series) - Softcover

Painting on calico creates warm, soft edges reminiscent of fine watercolors, a gentle, muted quality that naturally draws the eye and cheers the spirit. These fifteen exciting projects use stencils, fabric paint and découpage to create beautiful painted cushions, a framed mirror, attractive lampshades, placemats, platters and much more. Topics covered include fabric preparation, outlining in paint or pencil, “color floating” techniques, special shading effects, framing your artwork and creative solutions to common problems.
