Editorial Review
Beloved Scandinavian designer Lotta Jansdotter shows how easy it is to print patterns on all sorts of surfaces. Using stencils, rubber stamps, homemade screens, and other easy techniques, the projects and processes range from simple prints easy for beginners to more involved projects for experienced artists. Stencil leaves on the walls, stamp flowers on wrapping paper, screen-print on a skirt the sky's the limit. Beautiful photographs inspire while step-by-step instructions and illustrations explain the basics. Plus, Lotta has included eight ready-to-use stencil pages with hand-drawn patterns, so crafters can easily achieve her signature style. Our innovative format, with perforated stencil sheets and a catchall envelope at back, makes this a fantastic resource for any aspiring printer.

Lotta Prints is great!

2008-04-08
I got this book this weekend, after eagerly anticipating it for a while now. It really is a teriffic book, with great photos and great ideas. I love that there are usable stencils in the back of the book. Lotta shows you the many ways to print images on to all kinds of objects including walls, clothes, paper, etc. A must-have for any lover of crafts.

Simply Wonderful!

I received my copy yesterday and I couldn't stop reading, it's an exciting guide to the beautiful world of Lotta's printing techniques and inspirations, a beautifully designed book from start to finish, excellent photography printed in smooth textured paper, it's style reminds me of her other books published in Japan -Lotta's Lifestyle - and - Handmade Project -.

I also own Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects witch I enjoyed very much but this new book is definitely her best book published in the USA, Lotta's writing is sincere and simple, If you are thinking in buying - Lotta Prints - I recommend you get it, you're in for a Wonderful Treat!

This is a wonderful book in the Lotta series, the projects are helpful, practical and simple. Lotta's projects are great for people who like to make things from scratch.

half baked

I was really excited to sit down and go through the ideas and inspirations in this book. Turns out its a half baked attempt at a book like this. The how-tos are basic and not very helpful. It tries to cover too much without really covering anything. I thought at least I would get to see more of Lotta's work: wrong again! Not a total loss, but I regret not getting myself out to the bookstore to preview this book before I bought it.

Lotta gave me a lotta ideas!!

The photos alone make this book the best source of inspiration I've found in a while. I have all sorts of new ideas to explore! Pretty soon everything in my house will be printed on. LOL

very basic and not too inspiring.

I was disappointed. Nothing I haven't seen many times before in other books or magazines. Looked thru it once and off it went to the shelf.

I See Print Opportunities All Over My House Now!

Walls, fabrics, cards, furniture, kids (if they'd hold still long enough!) I love Lotta's simple designs and can't wait to get printing.
