Scrapbooking: back to basics is unlike most other books on
scrapbooking in that it keeps the focus on the photos rather than
on the embellishments that can overwhelm them. The title is
technique-based with easy step-by-step instructions clearly
illustrated with step-by-step photographs. Every technique,
original as well as traditional, is illustrated with top quality
photographs of finished pages where it has been applied. There is a
load of tried and tested hints and tips, as well as cost-cutting
advice scattered throughout the book. It contains all the
information you need to get started and as it includes basic as
well as advanced techniques it is suitable for both beginners and
advanced scrapbookers. Over 150 sample pages will inspire and
inform as captions tell you what you don't see, rather than stating
the obvious.
"Palmetto Braiding and Weaving" is the definitive book for
creating a variety of crafts from palm fronds, straw, rush, and
grass. In this well-illustrated volume, artists and authors Viva
Cooke and Julia Sampley explore thoroughly one of the most
fascinating traditions of the southern United States: palmetto
basketry. This tradition of crafts made from palm leaves has been
passed on through generations. "Palmetto Braiding and Weaving"
includes techniques and patterns for braiding and weaving-from
simple to complex-for a variety of creations. In addition to
baskets, "Palmetto Braiding and Weaving" explains how to make hats,
handbags, trimmings, mats, fans, belts, and more.
"Palmetto Braiding and Weaving" explores a wide array of uses of
this native plant. Cooke and Sampley give full instructions for
basketry, including samples of popular braids that have been
developed and passed on by word-of-mouth, from generation to
generation. Instructions are clear and accurate, and samples and fi
nished pieces are shown with drawings and photographs of the
authors' creations. The combination of drawings, photographs and
thorough instructions makefor the perfect how-to resource for
palmetto basketry, and are adaptable to the use of other fibers
including straw, rush, and grass.

In this compilation of projects and plans from "Furniture &
Cabinetmaking" magazine, veteran craftsman Mark Ripley puts 20
years' worth of practical tips, refreshing ideas, and innovative
approaches on the page. The 24 fully-diagrammed and illustrated
designs here offer something to furniture-makers of all abilities,
from a simple dining-room table to the more complex breakfront
bookcase. And these projects don't require a lavishly-equipped
shop: each design requires little more than a bench, a small
bandsaw, two or three portable power tools, and a basic kit of hand
tools. Before diving into building plans, Ripley helps readers

harmonizing the elements of furniture design.

Mosaic knitting is a quick-to-learn technique that will enable you
to make beautiful, colourful knitted projects in no time. This
collection of techniques and knitting patterns for mosaic knitted
homewares and accessories, includes everything you need to get
started with this exciting technique. Unlike other knitting
colourwork techniques, mosaic knitting is beginner-friendly - if
you can knit, purl and slip a stitch you can make these projects.
The patterns in this collection avoid any complicated shaping and
are knitted flat to keep them as accessible and beginner friendly
as possible. Mosaic knitting patterns are essentially knitting
stripes and slipping stitches in a pattern to creating striking
geometric motifs. With mosaic knitting you only work one colour per
row, so you don't have to worry about carrying floats of yarn like
you do with stranded colourwork techniques. Readers are led through
the basics with step-by-step instructions and diagrams so that they
can master the techniques before trying out their skills on 15
different projects. All of the patterns are accompanied with charts
and there are instructions for how to follow the mosaic knitting
charts, as well as how to read the written patterns, how to work in
stockinette (stocking) stitch and how to carry yarn up the side of
your work. There are step-by-step photographs showing how to work
the stitches, as well as advice about choosing and changing
colours. Each of the projects has an ability rating so you can
build your skills on the easiest patterns before moving on to more
challenging, but still accessible, projects. This collection
includes 15 projects with stunning geometric designs including
wraps, shawls and cowls as well as blankets, throws and pillow
covers. For each of the projects author, Ashleigh Wempe, has
designed an alternative colourway so you can see an example of how
different colour combinations work for each of the designs. Mosaic
knitting, is a technique that creates beautiful colourwork but is
less complicated than other knitting colourwork techniques, it also
creates a softer fabric than stranded knitting and the finished
knitted fabric maintains its stretchiness making it soft and
flexible.
