Sponge Painting
This is a rare craft book, one that requires little experience, uses simple tools, and does not result in cloyingly sweet projects. Rooney teaches one to cut and manipulate sponge pads, sheet foam, and natural sea sponge to achieve remarkable impressionistic textures. These are combined to represent anything from vines, bamboo, and butterflies to the moon and stars. Tins, boxes, shelves, flowerpots, and fabrics can take on the look of Monet or Martha Stewart. Recommended for craft collections used by adults or young folks.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
