Customer Reviews

Inspires the imagination and delights the eye.

Finally! Beautiful photography that shows every detail and fabulous instructions that anyone can follow. A complete variety of inspiring projects and design styles from the sophisticated to the whimsical that are easy to imitate and lovely to look at. And you can think of dozens of other materials and designs for each project. This is one of the few books on decorating pots that isn't limited to painted flowers and country scenes. Anyone can make these beautiful, decorative objects for the home, for gifts, for profit, or just one's own enjoyment. The only fault I can find with this book is that it isn't big enough.
