Industry Reviews
Kraft-Tex is a new paper from C&T Publishing that has the appearance of thick card with qualities of leather and fabric in that it is robust, can be stitched and cut and has a soft feel to it. It looks a bit like Grungepaper but without the rough, recycled and compressed feel to it. It can be used like card for mixed-media work but because it can be stitched into, this opens up more possibilities for making bags or quilts, or using for applique and cutwork. It comes in five colours - White, Black, Stone, Natural and Chocolate. I used the Chocolate and Stone to make a book cover.-- "Workshop on the Web"
