surfaces that can all be done in the home. Every project features
Yellow Owl Workshop's sought-after motifs and the author's
art-school style illustrations. This title is full of original
ideas for things to make and use, such as jar labels, pillows and a
stationary set. "Print Workshop" grabs readers hand and leads them
through a crash-course on printing with techniques, materials and
surfaces they never dreamed they could take on at home. It can be
as simple as carving a potato or as complex as a chemical bath, but
no matter the skill level, these printing techniques never require
expensive equipment or lots of space. Everything in this book is
easily do-able at home; and every project features Yellow Owl
Workshop's sought-after motifs and Christine's art-school style
illustrations. The book is full of original ideas for things to
make and use. There's jar labels for your canning and pickling
needs. There's pillows inspired by YOW's famous city and bicycle
stamps. There's everything from a stationary set (complete with wax
seal) to a dartboard, from a deck of cards to a fine art print.
Craft Bookbinding introduces some of the numerous binding styles
that can be achieved with little or no experience, from simple
structures that can be made with folded paper to the classic case
binding. Techniques for handling paper and glue are explained in
detail, along with a range of different methods of sewing and a
variety of cases to be used as covers. There are various ideas for
how the different binding styles can be lettered. Lavishly
illustrated with photographs and diagrams, clear instructions
describe the bindings, which can be adapted to bind books that are
uniquely yours.
