Fast,
Fun & Easy Irresist-A-Bowls by Linda Johnson One of the hottest trends in the craft world right now is fabric bowls. In this book, Linda Johnson takes a few steps further, adding exciting new shapes. If you have never made a fabric bowl, everything you need to know is here. The basic materials, supplies and techniques are covered thoroughly. Five new shapes are added to the basic round bowl; sunflower bowl, pieced bowl, double square bowl, fluted bowl and fantasy flower bowl. These five bowls and their variations offer a multitude of creative possibilities. They can be formed by following the clear, step-by-step directions. Only one, the fantasy flower bowl, needs templates and the pattern is provided. A discussion follows of various embellishment ideas. The photographs of completed bowls provided by a variety of contributors, demonstrate the endless possibilities in design. I especially like the Ginkgo bowl and the bowl with appliquéd stones and decorative stitching. This is a book to have a lot of fun with. Review by Diana Norris |
