Rubbing Plate Roundup / Shelly Stokes

If you love texture, this book is for you! All twelve techniques utilize a very simple texture tool — plastic molded rubbing plates. Discover rubbings with paintstiks, transfer crayons or water color; create embossed metal; paper castings; foiling; deconstructed screen prints; gelatin prints; liquid masks; impressions in clay; and flexible acrylic sculptures.

These useful techniques are not limited to rubbing plates — stamps, found objects and more can be substituted to expand your creative horizons. Whether you are a crafter, quilter, potter, or mixed-media artist, you’ll find learning is easy with complete supply lists, clear instructions, and beautiful step-by-step photographs.
