Fall under the spell of the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Enchanted
Forest! This stunning colouring book by Johanna Basford takes
readers on an inky quest through an enchanted forest to discover
what lies in the castle at its heart. As well as drawings to
complete, colour, and embellish, there are hidden objects to be
found along the way. Can you spot the wild flowers, animals, and
birds? What about the lanterns, keys, and treasure chests?
Beginning at the entrance to the forest, the journey progresses
through woodlands, rocky caves, and tree-lined mazes. Colour your
way past streams and waterfalls and over treetops, until you
finally reach your destination: a secluded, magical castle. Hidden
throughout the book are nine symbols. Readers must find all the
symbols to unlock the castle door at the end of the quest and
discover what lies within. Additional special features include a
gate-folded two-page spread and a colourable jacket. Praise for the
book and author: "The colourists have a queen, and her name is
Johanna Basford." - New York Magazine "Consider trading in your
yoga mat for a set of markers and peruse the gorgeous gardens of
Basford's imagination." - The Huffington Post "The best colouring
book for anxiety." - Teen Vogue"This book celebrates the glory of
all things green and nature-y in the best way possible: coloring
book form! Even if you don't want to add color, the illustrations
themselves are frame-worthy loveliness." mdash; Brit+ Co Other

Creative growth is a journey and there's much fun to be had in the
ride-the unknowing of what could happen next, whether it's on paper
or a canvas or with a publishing/licensing company. Author Kim
Anderson encourages the reader to be excited about the magic that
awaits her around the corner when she believes in her artistic
dreams. Important steps in the journey include nourishing bravery
and being wiling to take the risks that bring about growth. In this
book, the reader will not only learn fun techniques for
incorporating mixed-media collage into happy bits of doodling,
she'll be led through the author's own inspiring stories of how to
stay on the path to creative happiness.

Photographs have always evoked strong emotions - special memories caught on camera have their own special magic. But photos must be displayed for us to share their magic with others. Now there are many more display possibilities than placing them in an album or simply framing them.
This book shares more than 75 ideas for turning your photos into attractive and interesting displays. It is the result of much experimenting and trial and error. While some projects are both functional and decorative, others are delightfully quirky. They all have one thing in common: the creative use of photographs, and whatever you have at hand for embellishment. Bases used include canvas, glass, porcelain and ceramics, wood (MDF and soft wood), fabric, candles and skirting boards. In fact, there is hardly a surface that cannot be covered with a photograph in some way or another.
Various techniques are used, including several transfer methods, decoupage, photomontage and covering with resin. Use these ideas to turn your photos into valued gifts by personalising general-use items or simply create eye-catching decor for your home. Once you start, you may not want to stop! Illustrated with step by step photographs as well as magnificent photos of each finished project, the book will both teach and inspire.
So give your creativity free rein and fill your life with your special moments.
