In addition to stamping and stencilling, various relief methods of
printmaking, including lino, texture plate and collagraph, the
author has included four different types of screen printing and sun
and cyanotype print projects as well as how to use rust and plant
materials for 'eco' type printing. Transfer methods and altered art
prints offer a different take on conventional approaches to this
easily accessible art form. But by far the most exciting, and
largest section of the book is devoted to monotype prints and
monoprinting with the focus on gel printing. Angie Franke uses her
gelatine based printing pads (you'll get the recipe) and the
commercial Gelli Plate - as well as a fascinating venture into clay
bed printing - to explore monoprint methods in many different ways,
drawing on other processes in the book to build fascinating results
of richly combined layers of colour with stamp, stencil, mask and
texture plate tools. Easy to follow instructions with stylish
photographs will inspire anyone to give printmaking a go!

Vogue, reinvented the way we think about style. In this first

couture.
"If you're a lover of wildlife imagery, this is worth adding to
your wishlist" -Amateur Photographer "...an amazing new photobook
on the giants of the animal kingdom..." -Examiner USA "This is the
type of book that makes a handsome gift for any wildlife lover. But
you'll want to look at every photo before giving it away."
-Inhabitat "This book marvelously lives up to its title, not just
in size... but in subject matter: big animals, from lions to sharks
to grizzly bears, all stunningly photographed by two highly
accomplished wildlife photographers who decided to combine their
work for this wondrous portfolio." -Air Mail When we encounter an
animal in nature, it triggers something in us; we feel a certain
emotion in the presence of the other creature: amazement,
adoration, fascination, and indeed, in some situations, fear and
apprehension. But a brush with a deer, wild boar, or hare is no
comparison to a rendezvous with a grizzly, lion, shark, or pod of
whales. Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic have experienced this
hundreds of times in their combined 70 years as wildlife
photographers. Now, for the first time, they are combining their
award-winning photographs with previously unpublished photographs
of the world's largest animals in one book. The two photographers,
who are also friends, tell us what it is like to be out in the wild
and look the world's biggest animals right in the eye. The
structure of the book's chapters is arranged based on human
emotions such as amazement, admiration, fear, and love. In their
book, Nachoum and Dimitrijevic bring us closer to the giant animals
of our planet, and allow us to share what these two men feel during
these encounters, helping us learn about ourselves when we do so.

Foto's het nog altyd sterk emosies ontlok - spesiale herinnerings
wat op kamera vasgele word, het hul eie besondere bekoring. Daardie
bekoring kan egter slegs met ander gedeel word as die foto's
uitgestal word. En daarvoor bestaan daar veel meer moontlikhede as
om hulle bloot in 'n album te sit of in 'n raam op te hang. Hierdie
boek bevat meer as 75 idees om jou foto's op aantreklike en
interessante maniere te vertoon. Dit is die resultaat van baie
proefskote en eksperimentering. Sommige van die projekte is
funksioneel en dekoratief, en ander weer heerlik prettig. Almal het
egter een ding in gemeen: die kreatiewe gebruik van foto's, en wat
jy ook al byderhand het om dit mee te versier. Basisse sluit in
skilderdoek, glas, porselein en keramiek, hout en harde bord, lap,
kerse en vloerlyste. Daar is trouens bitter min oppervlakke wat nie
op een of ander manier met foto's bedek kan word nie. Verskeie
tegnieke word gebruik, waaronder verskillende oordragmetodes,
decoupage, fotomontage en hars-deklae. Gebruik die idees om jou
foto's in persoonlike geskenke te omskep deur alledaagse artikels
daarmee te versier, of om treffende dekoritems vir jou huis te
maak. Wanneer jy eers begin, sal jy dalk nie weer wil ophou nie!
Die stap-vir-stap-illustrasies en aantreklike foto's van die
voltooide projekte sal jou leer en inspireer. Gee dus jou
skeppendheid vrye teuels en vul jou lewe met jou spesiale
oomblikke.

van inspirasieborde en idees vir ongewone onderborde tot die
uitsoek van musiek en die volmaakte gasgeskenk, word aangevul deur
uitgebreide fotobyskrifte wat die leser vertel hoe om alles na te
doen. Die resepte is in 'n afsonderlike afdeling, gevolg deur
aanwysings en patrone vir selfdoenprojekte wat nie volledig in die
byskrifte gedek kon word nie. Daar is ook 'n oorvloed wenke en
voorstelle vir eenvoudige aanbiedingstegnieke, die skedulering van
take sodat jy die geleentheid saam met jou gaste kan geniet, en
maniere om jou persoonlike stempel op alles af te druk.

The horror of the First World War brought out a characteristic
response in a group of English artists, who resorted to black
humour. Among these, John Hassall, a pioneering British illustrator
and creator of the influential 'Skegness is so bracing' poster,
holds a special place. Early in the war, he hit on the idea of
drawing a parody of the Bayeux Tapestry to satirize German
aggression and add to the growing genre of war propaganda. Taking
the scheme of the famous tapestry which celebrates William the
Conqueror's invasion of England, Hassall uses thirty pictorial
panels to tell the story of Kaiser Wilhem II's invasion of
Luxembourg and Belgium. In mock-archaic language he narrates the
progress of the German army, never missing an opportunity to
lampoon 'bad' behaviour: 'Wilhelm giveth orders for frightfulness.'
The caricatured Germans loot homes, make gas from Limburg cheese
and sauerkraut, drink copious amounts of wine and shamefully march
through Luxembourg with 'women and children in front.' With comic
inventiveness Hassall adapts the borders of the original to
illustrate the stereotypical objects with which the English then
associated their enemy: they are decorated with schnitzel,
sausages, pilsner, wine corks and wild boar. Drawn with Hassall's
distinctive flat colour and striking outlines, Ye Berlyn Tapestrie
is a fascinating historical example of war-induced farce, produced
by a highly talented artist who could not then have known that the
war was set to last for another two years. Together with an
introduction which sets out the historical background of its
creation, every page of this rarely seen publication is reproduced
here in a fold-out concertina, just like the original, to resemble
the style of the Bayeux Tapestry.

India, long out of print. Individually screenprinted on handmade
