Doodle Stitching: Fresh and Fun Embroidery for Beginners
I have always wanted to embroider & have never been brave enough.I bought this book after reading the amazon reviews I was not disappointed it's fab! The stitches are presented clear & colourful. I loved that the projects are simple but also that they are inspiring, you really think I could do that, what's more I could add a bit of this and....I particularily liked the fireworks design on the halter top as it's a simple way to customise clothes & the cute softie owl & racoon. If you don't know where to begin by this you won't regret it!

Having previously used the 350D, 20D and 30D I recently purchased a 40D and needed a few more pointers regarding camera settings (picture styles, custom functions etc.).
I saw this book in a local book shop and thought it was exactly what I was looking for. It is written in concise language, is set out clearly and is logical in its approach to the subject.
However, I did not buy it due to one glaring mistake, that so many so-called professionals are making when discussing the 'focal length multiplier' of smaller sensor DSLR cameras. Camera manufacturers inadvertently began this 'myth' to explain the 'focal length multplier' of the smaller sensor cameras. A more correct term would be 'FIELD OF VIEW CROP FACTOR' (FOVCF).

I was recentley given this book as a present and it is fantastic. The illustrations are beautiful and all the more special as they were drawn by real fashion designers and many of them have never been seen before. It really feels as though you have been allowed a brief glimpse at something very personal, special and the illustrations are truly amazing. Highly recommended.

Many books profess to being Encylopedia or Bible of this and that but few live up to the impressive title. I'm pleased to say this book does that by the bucket load. The book goes through the basic equipment, techniques, blocks and rotary cutting - with simple instructions and clear colour photographs. Slowly graduating to special effects, applique, quilting types (Italian, Sashiko, Trapunto, which I can only dream of aspiring to) and finshing with, appropriately, finishing. At the very end of the book are themes with fabulous examples of quilts designed and made by the 'great and good' in the quilting world, some of which can only be described as breath taking. Definitely a book for the beginner with inspiration for the 'graduate quilter' ... Read More:

Joe really is in the gods with his beautifully observed and executed photography. This book does not disappoint. I also own "Scotland's Coast" and "First Light". All outstanding. Recently went to the exhibition at the Michale Hooper Gallery. Wow!

Socrates said "Know thyself" and artistic journaling is one approach towards personal discovery. "Artists' Journal and Sketchbooks: Exploring and Creating Personal Pages" gives non-artists tips on how to begin creative and self-revelatory journaling.
Diaries are not just about words and Perrella encourages the use of paper that's painted, glued, stitched, scratched, bleached and in any other way manipulated. Standardization is out and replaced by the act of altering what's already around to make something new as women, the true bricoleurs, often do.
From the examples given of various artists' journals comes the confirmation that women are generally the family historians documenting via foto albums, scrapbooks, journals and keepsakes. ... Read More:
