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.

The elegant pen-strokes and visual harmony of Chinese writing,
known as hanzi, have long been admired in the west. Classical
Chinese calligraphy is a popular and valuable art form, and with
the increasing economic and cultural power of China, its writing is
becoming more widely appreciated and understood. In particular, the
deep layers of history and symbolism which exist behind even the
most everyday character have a strong appeal to those seeking
understanding from an alternative philosophy. Chinese Characters:
The Art of Hanzi features the most interesting of the three to four
thousand characters are needed to write modern Chinese. Characters
expressing concepts such as love, peace, respect and happiness are
reproduced in a large format, enabling the reader to trace, scan or
photocopy them for transfer to any other medium. Alongside the
character is an accessible and inspiring explanation of how the
character developed, what the particular strokes symbolize, and its
various different meanings.
This fully colour illustrated work covers the most artistically
progressive period for British table cutlery between 1870 and 1940,
and maps its evolution through a series of artistic periods,
including Art Deco and the Arts & Crafts revival, to the
present day. For the humble spoon, the Arts & Craft period
brought in new and exotic styles developed from the changing taste
that sprang from the Great Exhibition of 1851. The artistic styles
were largely based around natural form and many makers turned
against the mass production of the industrial age. The golden age
for Liberty & Company provided a platform for designers such as
Archibald Knox, Oliver Baker, Bernard Cuzner and the Silver Studio
with their bold, and often-colourful, designs for spoons. The rise
of women who rivalled their male counterparts in design and craft,
particularly in the fields of jewellery and small silverware, was
particularly significant at this time.
This is the true story of a robin who lives in my garden among
fences, hedges, shrubs, trees, stacks of pots and bricks and the
vine on my balcony. Lickel Bird or LB, responded to human company
and showed remarkable trust and attachment. During my daily contact
with him I watched him perform many tasks. These observational
snapshots have given me a window into his world and allowed me to
share some of his busy life in all its ups and downs. He watched me
in my garden long before he trusted me enough to see I was on the
side of small birds and that I would be there for him in his hour
of need and what he needed most in his life was food.
