My wife loves this magazine, so I thought I'd buy her a subscription for her birthday. The price here at Amazon (as of May 17, 2005) is nearly 60% above the subscription price offered on the pull-out cards in the magazine.
Go to the magazine's web site and subscribe there. You'll save big over Amazon's price.Cloth Paper Scissors is without a doubt the BEST magazine out there for mixed media artists. The magazine articles are beautifully done; lots of "how-to's"; easy to understand directions and dynamite photos.The magazine's title captures the essence of each issue, which comes loaded with inspiration and practical how-to's. There's a good balance between emerging and professional artists and techniques. Each issue includes:
> Musings
> Now Read This
> The In-Box (mail)
> Popping the Question (topical)
> Who did this? (featured artist)
> The Workshop (technique)
> I Made This (readers' projects)
> Classifieds & Index
Additional techniques, artist profiles, and the results of readers' challenges round out the "Features" section of each issue. (QuiltingArts.com provides images of back issues along with the table of contents.)
CPS is printed on high grade paper with clean layouts and crisp, full-color photos. Highly recommended for anyone working in collage, fabric arts, and altered art. Subscription price is about 15% off the single issue price of $7.95/each.This is a great zine to have if you love art, like to look at art, want to learn how to do the art--or just love mixed media art, paper art, or sewing projects, etc. You cannot go wrong. It is beautifully photographed, well organized and just special. I love this magazine so much I have kept every issue and refer to them often. You will too.Bravo to the folks at Quilting Arts, LLC, for another wonderful magazine! As with the inspiring Quilting Arts Magazine, Cloth/Paper/Scissors is filled with well-organized information about techniques, interesting articles about artists, etc., all beautifully photographed on quality paper. Well done!
