On the Contrary Contrary to the previous reviewer who didn’t think Kim Thittichai (Hot Textiles) did a good job on addressing the safety issues…I beg to differ. I’m only on page 27 and so far Ms. Thittichai addresses the safety issue on page(s) 7 (2 paragraphs); pg 10, entire page; pg 12, 1 paragraph; pg. 15, 1 paragraph; pg. 17, warning; pg 24, entire page. I think this is an excellent book which leads the artist into using different mediums and how to safely use each of them. I’d highly recommend this…
