Transform everyday objects into beautiful heirlooms with this complete course in decorative hand painting. It covers every technique and brush stroke, and offers an array of inspirational patterns. Master the basic designs and then do one of 20 projects: decorate a wooden tray with a Tree of Life, a curved box with flowers and curlicues, and a bride's box. Or try a cobalt blue towel rail with golden Mexican marigolds, a Japanese Cherry Blossom Placemat, a Fruit-in-a-Basket Clock, a Russian table, and an Aboriginal Garden Seat!
