Alma de la Melena Cox developed the term "telamedera" to express the fusion of vibrantly colored materials that merges using wood with collage and fabric.

The process begins with a piece of wood as a canvas and with the help of step-by-step photos, you will learn to use a wood-burning tool to add lines and details. Plus, several mixed-media techniques such as stencil-work, dimensional paint, fabric, beads and personal imagery will help you bring the art to life. The twenty techniques are accompanied by a finished piece of inspirational art and an additional 10 fully stepped-out projects draw on a number of art techniques that you can use for a variety of crafts.
