Shibori for Textile Artists great practical book for dyers, quilters, etc., with beautiful photos of

As someone who has dabbled in indigo dyeing & shibori designs, this book is a wonderful addition to my collection. It's given me new ideas for even doing techniques I have done many times before, such as Arashi, as well as fabrics I've never done shibori with, such as velvet. However, a beginner would benefit from this book as well as instructions are easy to understand. I also love the incredibly gorgeous examples of quilts, wall hangings, etc. that also help ignite the creativity flame. My only issue was the cover was very sticky when it arrived, but I was able to wipe it fairly clean. Really fun book!
