Exploring Fabric Collage with Lesley Riley

Join popular workshop instructor and author Lesley Riley in the fun of altering books, an innovative art form using memorabilia you've had around the house for years! Lesley demonstrates innovative ways to use ephemera, which materials work best, design and continuity dos and don'ts, her rationale for choosing particular fabrics, and how to avoid common mistakes. Learn a variety of ways to transfer images, and witness the resulting look achieved by each method. See how to “tip-in” pages, adhere mica, and “age” photos and fabric. Well delineated chapters allow you to jump to areas of special interest in her workshop. Lesley Riley used the following materials in this project; however, they are not all necessary to get started.
