I'm guessing that certain techniques, like painting on fabric with a
brush, could be done easily without special equipment. But it's true
that some of the other techniques – and especially, the ones involving
printing computer images to fabric – may involve supplies that you
can't get easily outside the U.S. It's so hard to know how to give a
complete answer to this without having a clear understanding of what
kinds of things you can get in French craft stores.

If you'd like, though, feel free to email me, and we can talk in more
detail.

Some supplies are very simple, like fabric paints and paint brushes. But I'd guess that others, especially the supplies for printing on fabric from a computer, may be harder to find outside the U.S. This is an excellent question, Adelie.

I was really glad I could make it to her book signing so I could hear all about the book, that is really what sold me on it. There were so many techniques in the book that I wanted to try, but wasn't sure where to start. She gave a great, simple explanation of everything that I felt like I could now take the plunge. :) My friend and I are going to be doing the watercolor painting on fabric tomorrow.

Don't know how this happened, but I think I saw myself clicking on the "buy in one click" button this morning. Now I just have to be patient before this book is finally in my hands ! Thank you for the pictures of the inside of the book and the stats with the number of technics, I think that's what helped me decide if I wanted to buy it, eventually. Oh well.

What do you think ? (I know, sometimes I shouldn't read reviews on am...on, and perhaps this has something to do with one of your recent tweets, but as I can't leaf through that kind of books in the french book stores...)
