A silk scarf has a special allure, embodied in its lustre and sheen in the light and the soft, silky feel of the luxurious fabric against your skin. Though feather-light it is wonderfully warm in winter and a fantastic sunscreen in summer. This book teaches you how to colour and print your own silk scarves, achieving fabulous finishes. With 50 patterns and colourways to choose from, you can ensure that you always have the perfect accessory for any event or outfit, and enjoy the thrill of telling people that you have made it yourself when they compliment you on it. The techniques in this book are simple enough for a beginner to master, yet offer lots of creative ideas for experienced colour crafters. All the scarves are rated in terms of production time and level of difficulty, giving you ample opportunity to practise the different skills involved on easier projects before tackling more challenging finishes. Each project is explained clearly with step-by-step instructions and photographs, showing you how to create a wide range of stunning colour effects. Recycled printing with found objects make up a substantial section of the book, and you will be amazed at the results you can achieve by using simple everyday items for printing. Also learn how to make your own lino blocks for printing, compose eye-catching designs and plan colour mixes that will dazzle and delight.

'n Syserp het 'n besondere aantrekkingskrag danksy die lieflike glans, skitterende kleure en die sagte, sygladde gevoel daarvan teen jou vel. Al is dit veerlig, is dit heerlik warm in die winter, maar bied tog uitstekende beskerming teen die son in die somer. Met hierdie boek kan jy leer om jou eie syserpe te kleur en te druk en so fantastiese afwerkings te skep. Met 50 verskillende patrone en kleursamestellings om uit te kies, kan jy seker maak dat jy altyd die perfekte bykomstigheid vir enige uitrusting of geleentheid het, en wanneer mense jou daaroor komplimenteer, hulle trots vertel dat jy dit self gemaak het. Die tegnieke in die boek is eenvoudig genoeg vir groentjies om baas te raak, maar bied genoeg kreatiewe alternatiewe vir ervare kleurkunstenaars. Daar is by elke serp 'n aanduiding van die gevorderd-heidsvlak en tyd wat dit sal neem, sodat jy met eenvoudiger projekte kan oefen voor jy meer gevorderde afwerkings aanpak. Elke projek word met duidelike stap-vir-stap aanwysings en foto's gedemonstreer en leer jou om 'n verskeidenheid lieflike kleurafwerkings te verkry. Drukwerk met gebruiksvoorwerpe maak 'n groot deel van die boek uit, en jy sal verstom wees om te sien watter fantastiese voorkomste jy met alledaagse goed kan skep. Die boek wys jou ook hoe om linoblokke vir drukwerk te maak en te gebruik, treffende ontwerpe daarmee te skep en stralende kleurkombinasies te beplan wat almal sal bekoor, en dek al die nodige tegniese aspekte van kleur- en drukwerk. Die manjifieke foto's van die voltooide syserpe sal jou inspireer om sommer dadelik aan die werk te spring en jou ware kleure te toon!

In 2016, Mary Jane Baxter did what many people dream of: she quit her job at the BBC, rented out her flat and headed for the hills. Her home for the next few months was an upcycled 1986 Bedford Bambi campervan with a top speed of 60mph. She raided skips for vintage wallpaper and scoured second-hand emporiums to source stylish vintage accessories, creating her own travelling craft studio, packed with everything necessary for crafting on the road. She then set off around Europe searching for inspiration, travelling from Belgium right down to the Cinque Terre in Italy then around France and up to Scotland. Armed with her trusty hand-cranked Singer, she spent a summer sewing on the go, foraging in flea markets, meeting artists and hosting pop-up events to help fund her trip. Like creatives the world over she decided to see where her travels would lead her and returned with a head full of new projects. Fortunately, there's no need for you to give up your job, wave goodbye to your family and rent out your house in order to re-ignite your own creativity; Mary Jane has done all the hard work for you. Sew on the Go is her guide to carving out more creative space in your life. From decorating your own budget-conscious bolthole to achievable projects including clothes and fashion accessories, beautiful gift ideas and child-friendly makes, this book is the ideal companion for those who dream of devoting more time to their craft.
