This is truly an excellent book. Even if you have seen susan p. rothamel's videos you will still be intrigued by this book as she does not repeat herself and she offers wonderful techniques that inspire to the max.... The book is illustrated beautifully with susan pickering rothamels own artwork and some other artists work aswell, all of it is impressive and rewarding. This book does not dissapoint, i felt like i wanted to own it a.s.a.p and now i'm so pleased that i got it, its very informative. Susan P Rothamel is the Don of mixed media and collage techniques in my opinion, you wouldn't go amis to watch her videos aswell, I'm still trying to get my hands on her collage and assemblage videos !!!! very satisfying book, really deserving of 5 stars you won't be sorry you bought it, you'll be sorry you didn't !!
