talking animals from the increasingly deranged Queen of Hearts. But
all is not as it first appears in the fluctuating dream world and
soon Alice is battling to save herself from the nightmare that is

Dormouse for tea? Well now you can find out - and take part. In the
Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland Colourist's Book - a companion to
Jonathan Green's new Choose Your Path Adventure Book - YOU decide

The origami book, reinvented. From Margaret van Sicklen, author of
the Origami Page-A-Day(R) Calendar and a tireless proselytizer for
her craft, The Joy of Origami brings a delightfully fresh twist to
the ancient art of paper folding. Traditional in spirit--she
reaches back to origami's original aim, as a way to share unique
gifts with friends and family--yet contemporary in look and feel,
with 100 sheets of paper featuring bold, often whimsical patterns
specially designed to complement the models, it's a jazzy,
essential book for every origami hobbyist, whether an old hand at
folding or new to the craft.
The 57 models range in difficulty from a simple Elephant in Pajamas
to a more challenging Tyrannosaurus Rex. There are models for
special occasions (Stars and Stripes Pinwheel), action models (the
Foxy Puppet), models for kids (One-Trick Pony) and models for
friends (the Kissing Cranes). The Everyday Paper section includes
models using found paper: four cool ways to fold a dollar bill, an
awesome newspaper baseball mitt, and fun ways to turn unwanted
business cards into origami creatures.
Paper - both affordable and universally available - is possibly the
most versatile material in the crafter's kit box. In this new book
from Quadrille's Simple Makes series, Christine Leech demonstrates
30 original and creative ideas for lovely papercraft projects. Some
of the projects are simply drawn and cut, such as the fish mobile
or rose gift tag, whilst others are constructed and glued, for
example a cute yet practical stationery birdhouse that holds
paperclips inside and has Post-It note tiles on its roof. A few
slightly more advanced projects involve special techniques, such as
the beginners' bookbinding method used to create the hand-bound
Japanese-style notebooks or the wedding guest book, but everything
is easily achievable by following the clear, step-by-step
instructions and guides.

for performing them in front of audiences, these models will
