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.

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.

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.
