From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Excellent place to find fresh ideas for your art."; "I really enjoyed this "how-to" book that gives step by step instructions on everything from using acrylic paints to collage to stitchery, among other techniques and media. A good book for both beginners and those who want to learn a new skill."; "Definitely not for the beginner, but rather for those already crafting and are looking for inspiration or want to try new mediums. I'm impressed by the author's creativity."; "I subscribed to Cloth, Paper, Scissors for a year and truly enjoyed each magazine. Sadly, it's no longer published, but I found this book after some diligence. It's a great overview of what one can do with mixed media."
