Here is an advanced reading copy of Lisa Kerpoe's new book sitting on MY cutting table. I can't tell you how excited I am! The book is coming out in June 2012 and I think it is a must have.
I have been following Lisa's blog forever and have often referred to her posts on my Friday Favorites. Now all her recipes and processes are in one place. Before I got all excited and told you that the book is a must-have, I checked Jane Dunnewold's books, Complex Cloth and Art Cloth. Those are kinda the gold standard of all things surface design for me. Jane's books barely cover water-based resists so Lisa's book is a wonderful addition to them. Lisa's book is not an entire dictionary of surface design techniques like Jane's are but it does not pretend to be. It is a book all about resists--recipes, how to apply them, how to apply color after the resists, how to remove the resists when you are done, a troubleshooting guide, and resources for the supplies. Resists from the beginning to the end.
Guess what I'll be doing during my Christmas break? Resistance (to the resist) is futile. LOL
