This is a book that I would love to have it on my bookshelf. (I am having the image on my future gigantic book shelf in my head..) Another book from Laurie Wisburn is Mastering the Art of Fabric Printing. She is a self-made fabric designer and a blogger from the states, check out her blog! The prints she created gladdens your day, obviously it is about pattern and mixing of colours so do not expect it to be MUJI like. I do very much appreciate the art of wood block printing in India, the patterned fabrics and papers are impressive, I could not help but bought 2 big pieces of table cloth and a scarf from an Indian shop owner in Singapore. They used natural dye so what I needed to do when I got home was to soak it in high salt concentration water overnight before washing it in the washing machine.
The shop owner was extremely helpful, honest and offered really good price, it's on my list of must-go in Singapore now :-)
