Practice drawing them—you can stylize and exaggerate all you want. My cat makes a great drawing model, even though she runs around a lot. She is very expressive and playful, but has an affectionate side too. I love to capture that in my drawings.

CHAPTER 2: Personality

Design can help convey a character’s personality and temperament.

GET TO THE CORE What’s most important is getting to the core of a character and the impression they give to others. How does the character want to convey themselves—and how does it really come off? Do they purposefully dress intimidatingly, or do they have an intimidating exterior and a soft heart? Do they carry themselves with confidence or always look like they want to hide in a corner? Ponder the vibe you want the character to give off, and brainstorm how you can create that impression.

CHAPTER 2: Personality

Space invaders The crocodile CEO character is remorseless, crying “crocodile tears”. I used a threatening silhouette, looming and angular. Nearly everything about him is sharp and uninviting, and his teeth are bared menacingly. In contrast, his luckless bird employee is tiny, with a round head and dainty body.

For intimidating designs, I often use broad shoulders and big, toothy, insincere smiles. Notice also how the crocodile doesn’t respect the bird’s space and is nearly resting his foot on her head. Invasion of personal space is a good way to convey villainous intent through body language.

Insincere eyes—his eyes are condescending, not full of sympathy, as he would want you to believe. Sharp, discomforting hands—clawlike, and wouldn’t give good hugs.

Personality

Shy hands, tentative and tucked in.

Who is she?

Even before writing dialogue or actions for a character, you can convey their personality through design. Upon a first glance, a good design can tell you some crucial information about a character. Are they looming and imposing, a tall shadow over their underlings? Are they sweet and round, like a cookiebaking grandma? These common archetypes and visual cues can be flipped on their head as well— you could create a sugary-sweet looking character who uses a cute exterior to hide bad intentions, or a gruff, surly bruiser with a heart of gold.

How would you describe this character? I tried to convey a shy, somewhat melancholy, curious girl. Her clothing suggests some level of sophistication, maybe a wealthy upbringing. Her big curls create a contrast with her reserved personality.

Delicate hand out, evoking a princess or fairy.

Rounded square face, with big, friendly features.

Big, round hands—he is the type to gesture a lot.

Teddy boy

Round, scared face, and tiny body— childlike and frightenedlooking.

This character is a lovable teddy bear of a guy. He is fun-loving and friendly. I used round but solid shapes to show he’s cuddly and dependable. His color palette is warm, like cinnamon or maple brown sugar. His body language is relaxed and inviting.

Hand tucked into pocket to suggest he’s casual and chill.

With the world turning ultra-digital and Instagram-obsessed, a new wave of mixed-media artists have reclaimed the medium of the photographic print through combining it with handmade embroidery. From found vintage portraits to specially taken images, black and white photographs are being reinvented and given an entirely new look—and narrative through colorful threads and various traditional needlepoint techniques. The result is a surreal, often futuristic collection of collage-like works that address current themes, from body image to gender fluidity. The Embroidered Image is an inspiring compilation of over 200 works by 40 international artists working within this enchanting new genre today, with insights into their inspirations, processes, and the occasional challenges they face.

Once you’ve got to grips with perspective, you will notice that your work almost leaps off the page. It will feel authentic; it will look totally awesome; it will be legendary. This is the plan: Watch over the author’s shoulder; copy what he does (there’s no harm in copying when you’re a beginner); follow the special drawing exercises; keep practicing; become the best comic book artist … ever! Part of what sets this instructional book apart from other perspective books is that this is not just a book, but a journal with instruction and exercises for creating scenes in the context of storytelling for aspiring comic book artists. Practical demonstrations and interactive workbook pages with grids to fill in and artwork to complete show you how to enjoy developing your drawing mechanics for storytelling.

ARTIST'S TIP Remember: in one-point perspective, the horizontal and vertical lines are infinitely parallel to one another, while the diagonal lines recede to the vanishing point.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction This book is written with the intent of providing an introduction to the underlying principles of good graphic design, whether it is printbased, digital, or environmental. The content has been constructed to mirror, in part, how the subject is taught in college design programs, and the visuals, which are a mixture of student projects and professional design work, have been carefully chosen to illuminate specific teaching points. Many of the sections contain step-by-step exercises and assignments, offer practical advice, and point toward further resources. The first part of the book, Principles, supports the idea that a thorough understanding of design principles should support the process of creating design works in response to specific briefs and problems, while allowing room for self-authored experimentation

and visual freedom. As you are introduced to the basics of research, typography, color, photography, and composition, you will learn to become visually aware and able to articulate these design principles into your future works. You will also come to understand that these principles cross disciplines and are the vocabulary of visual literacy. In the second part of the book, Practice, you will be introduced to invaluable practical skills that are important support systems to the skill sets of research and creative process that you will have read about in Part One. They do not replace them, but serve as methods and practices for developing critical problem-solving skills, and learning to manage complex projects. Designers need the whole range of skills to be truly successful, and expertise will come with continued study and practice in both areas. Unless you learn the

practical skills and technology of design production, including how to manage images, create digital files for specific media, and design, build, and structure a website, you will be unable to bring your brilliant concepts to life. None of these visual skills can be viewed in isolation from the context in which design happens and its larger role in society and the world. Designers are visual communicators, often giving visual voice to new and provocative ideas. They create images that can inform, persuade, and entertain millions of people. This comes with great responsibility, and it is necessary to be aware of the role of design in shaping the world we live in, and changes in the discipline that transcend trends or the latest software. While any kind of comprehensive account of these topics stands outside the scope

EMIGRE #19: Starting From Zero E

of this book, becoming visually literate and technically skilled should go hand in hand with an understanding of such issues as global audiences, communication theories, systems theory, sustainable issues in design, and the changing role of technology. Finally, design education is a lifelong experience that can bring great personal satisfaction and reward. Technologies, styles, and demands change rapidly in this industry and, as a result, graphic design is a subject to be taken on with independence and an expectation of lifelong learning and commitment. With this book as a gateway, a new way of seeing the world may lead you to a career path that will be a constant source of surprise and delight.

New EDITIONS

The hand drawing techniques every architect should know All students with a budding interest in architectural design will value this book for its solid foundational orientation and instruction. Mo Zell introduces readers to architecture’s visual language, showing them how to think spatially and getting them started in architectural drawing with a series of instructional tutorials. Using three-dimensional design problems, she coaches students through the fundamentals of proportion and scale, space and volume, path and place and materials and textures. A series of study units cover virtually every aspect of architectural drawing.

Tools and Techniques for 2-D and 3-D Representation

This book concludes with practical advice for anyone considering a career in architectural design, offering ideas on building a portfolio, getting advanced training and continuing on a path to a professional career.

ABOUT THIS REVISED EDITION:

This edition explores innovations in digital fabrication and its influence on modelmaking opportunities and material choices. It looks at the new tools that are becoming more readily available in schools – 3D printers, CNC mills, laser cutters and so on – and explores how these tools impact both physical model-making skills and the kind of architectural design that is being produced today.

• Learn to see and sketch with accuracy, and develop fundamental drawing and modelling skills • Master subjective representation and the rules of perspective, proportion and scale • Employ spatial strategies: rendering and diagramming ideas

This is a foundation course in architectural design, both for students and anyone interested in the creative side of architecture. About more than the technical aspects of drawing, it introduces the reader to the visual language of architecture, encouraging them to think spatially, and question the built environment. Step-by-step tutorials explain the entire design process and hands-on exercises allow students to practice their new skills. MO ZELL is the Associate Dean of the UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Milwaukee, and principal of the design and research firm bauenstudio. Mo studied architecture at the University of Virginia and Yale University before working in the profession for a number of years.

NEW Edition THE FASHION DESIGNER’S TEXTILE DIRECTORY Designers are trained to develop a vision in terms of surface, silhouette, and “good” design; they are not trained to translate that vision into understandable terms for the textile industry. This book is designed to fill this gap in communication. The Fashion Designer’s Textile Directory guides you through five fabric categories: • Structure • Fluidity • Ornamentation • Expansion • Compression The book is illustrated and explained with photographs of fabric samples, garments, and diagrams. Each entry has all the information you will need to make the right decision about the fabric for your design. Graphic icons representing fabric structure, weight, and any special finishes provide a wealth of information without the need for lots of reading, and facts and figures are summarized in bullet lists. Key information about featured fabrics is included in the charts at the back of the book, usefully condensed and organized into tables for quick reference when you’re in the design studio or with a supplier. The Fashion Designer’s Textile Directory is a must-have reference for the fashion designer or fashion design student, simultaneously offering instruction in fabric while helping develop skills for the design room. About the revised edition: Includes wonderful new images and an updated chapter on Responsible Design, which is a call to empower fashion industry designers to make changes in their products.

1 Start with the ball on the left. Work the outline in French knots using one strand of apricot. Then fill the rest of the ball using French knots in the same color.

2 Fill the ball on the right with irregular tiny seed stitches using one strand of light seagreen. They should look like confetti but more continuous.

3 For the top ball, first make the outline using two strands of light straw and split stitch. Continue circling inward using split stitch to fill the ball.

4 Use three strands of medium gold to work the cone in satin stitch.

5 Make straight stitches parallel to the edges of the cone using one strand of light brown. To create the cornet pattern, make stitches parallel to the right edge, then make stitches parallel to the left edge (they should make crosses). Once you have created the cornet pattern, outline the edge in straight stitch using one strand of light brown.

6 Finally, add the sprinkles using two strands of light Nile green to make short seed stitches all around.

Embroidered Cat in my Pocket Techniques and Projects for Enchanting Fashion Adornments

New for

2019

Five years ago, Japanese embroidery artist Hiroko Kubota’s embroidered cat shirts set the internet alight. Hiroko uses a technique that let’s you “paint with thread,” (it requires a small needle, single strands of embroidery floss plus lots of shades of the same color, and two stitches—one bigger than the other—that repeat again and again). This adorable collection of five projects, core techniques, and templates lets you recreate a little of Hiroko’s magic.

You need to work this stitch in multiple colors in order for the pattern to be shown off at its best. Making a large project such as a blanket in single crochet can be time-consuming, so try using a chunky yarn for a speedy make. As with all chevrons worked in single crochet, you will get better results if you use a slightly larger hook than the one recommended for the yarn.

The use of crossed double crochet gives the fabric an unusual texture. You can use any number of colors for this stitch. This example uses three shades of yarn and changes color every row, so you can simply carry the unused yarn up the side of the work. Change color on the last yarnover of the last stitch of the row for smooth color transitions.

4 Purl Slip Stitch

Slip stitches can be tight to work, so it is best to use a hook that is larger than the one recommended on the ball band. Unlike taller stitches, there is no need to make a turning chain at the beginning of each row of slipped stitches. This stitch pattern tends to “lean” to one side, but can easily be straightened with blocking or when sewn to other squarer pieces.

This stitch pattern produces a thin and stable fabric, and is often used for hats. There is no need to make a turning chain at the beginning of each row of slipped stitches.

This pattern closely resembles knitted fabric. It makes a strong and elastic rib suitable for cuffs, welts, and hat brims.

Closely resembling knitted garter stitch, this stitch pattern has a defined texture and is ideal for sturdy projects such as edgings, bags, and homewares.

Meet Mandy!

CODE MGTC

My interest in crochet began a few years ago when a friend introduced me to the wonderful world of yarn. I am passionate about living life with creativity and color, but there was a time I struggled with color choices and restricted myself to neutrals rather than get it “wrong.” I am happy to say that I am no longer scared of color and would like to share my passion for color with you.

PROJECTS BY COLOR THEORY

Extended related schemes

Extended related colors are those that are side-by-side on the color wheel and include four color steps. These colors can be tinted, shaded, or grayed, so look a little deeper when choosing colors and find their source. The project for this color theory contains the four tinted colors: Red-Violet, Red, Red-Orange, and Orange which together create a warm color combination. Extended related schemes, like related schemes (see page 22), are soothing on the eye as they have low contrast. Orange

Re d-

Or an

Re d

Violet CREATING A SOFTER PALETTE

This scheme uses four colors that sit side-by-side on the color wheel, which creates a divinely peaceful palette. By adding white to each of the four colors, a deliciously tinted version of the scheme is born. This softens the palette considerably and makes it even easier on the eye.

Micro-Crochet The World’s Smallest Crochet Creatures. No, Really!

Author Mariella Vitale has a unique skill: she can pick up a 0.4mm crochet hook and some embroidery yarn, and create remarkable, miniature three-dimensional creatures the size of a thumbnail. For the first time ever, her amazing collection of microcrocheted creatures has been brought together in a book and—thanks to the full patterns and instructions contained within—readers can have a go at making some for themselves. The “bigger hook/thicker yarn” combinations mean you can also use the same patterns and end up with a bigger frog. Or ladybug. Or rabbit. Or chameleon. AUTHOR 24 Choose a Chum

BOARS SKULL WEDGING

•

This technique is known by many names, bulls nose, ram’s head etc, all are derived from the shape formed in the clay during the process. The

160pp

basic principle is to stretch and compress layers of clay working through a whole lump by repeating the process over and over. Over time you will get to feel a slight but noticeable resistance from the clay when it is fully wedged, this signifies the compression. Until you’re confident with the feel, a good rule of thumb is to repeat the following steps 50 times regardless of the size of the ball.

Here I am wedging 5kg of clay, later I’ll cut and weigh it into ten balls for 500g pasta bowls.

CODE 302744 WEDGING

Wedging is the process of mixing and de-airing clay. While there are many variations on hand position and technique, I intend to demonstrate the two most common methods and hand positions that have served me well and provide reliable results. Wedging is also commonly referred to as kneading, this is due to the similarity of kneading dough with one big difference, in baking it is common fold air into the mix, in ceramics we use the process to do the opposite. Don’t worry about the language, let your hands do the talking!

3 1 Begin with a roughly round ball and place hands on top as shown. Begin to apply pressure downward from the heal of your thumbs and palm, use the middle palms and base of the other fingers to contain the clay to

a nice round form, drop and roll the clay on its ends to round off the creased sides. Slap the creases out of the ends and pat into a longer ‘sausage’ ready for cutting weighing and balling. Once finished you can cut the ball through to check for air bubbles, start again if you find any (4b).

2 Push down and slightly forward into the clay, be sure to indent the clay but careful not to push too hard or you’ll create indents which will trap air in the next move. It’s much more about the repetition and accurate execution of the process than the strength used. Be careful not to trap your fingers under the ball, allow them to spread as they meet the table. 3 Rock the ball back, right up on to its ‘nose’ move the hands back to the top of the ball and repeat, try not to ‘fold’ the clay, what your aiming to do is compress from the top and stretch a layer across the bottom to pop any

At first as you learn the steps of the process it will seem disjointed but as you get more comfortable with it the action will become fluid, cupped hands contain the clay, a push down and the fingers spread, lifted back by a flick of the fingers and caught again by the heal of the thumb.

New for

Pinching is a wonderfully direct method of interacting with clay, capable of making a myriad forms, usually small, and requiring the minimum of tools. With this superb collection of pinched projects, Jacqui Atkin, one of the UK’s foremost ceramic teacher-writers, shows what this simple technique is able to achieve. Each project is explained with step-by-step sequences and plenty of options for surface decoration, there is something to suit all making preferences—from functional wares to the purely decorative and including fanciful sculptural works.

You can also make the bowl in stoneware clays but be aware the clay will shrink more in firing, so the end product will be smaller.

The finished bowl has been refined by scraping then smoothing the surface with a kidney both inside and out.

CODE 325956

These little pouring bowls are fabulous for sauces, dressings, or dips and look great on any table. The raised lip at one end provides the perfect handle for lifting the bowl but also makes a great rest for a spoon. Decorated in soft pastel shades for a really contemporary look, the bowls look particularly good in groups of three or more.

Following the method shown in basic techniques (see page 12), pinch a bowl from the suggested quantity of clay. Turn the bowl over onto the work surface then paddle the surface with a spatula to refine the shape and form a level base for the bowl to sit on.

From the author

Transfer the bowl to a whirler and position the rim as centrally as possible using the concentric lines as a guide. Work over the surface with a kidney to remove lumps and bumps and establish a definite level for the base.

RED LEE

Place a 1.5 mm red leather cord in the middle of four 4 mm brown leather cords. Hold the cords together at the top, then 11⁄2 inches (4 cm) down, pull the red leather cord out from the center and start coiling it around the four brown leather cords. Because leather is elastic, make sure to stretch the red leather cord and coil it as tightly as possible to prevent it from loosening.

2 yard lengths of 1.5 mm natural red round leather cords Note: The material indicated is for a bracelet 7 inches (18 cm) long. If you would like it to be longer, add materials accordingly to your liking.

Coil the red leather cord for a length of 11⁄2 inches (4 cm). Knot by wrapping the cord under, then over itself, and pulling tight.

Once you have made the knot, cut off any extra red cord.

In order to start braiding the brown leather cords, spread them out from left to right. The cords are numbered from 1 to 4, with 1 on the far left and 4 on the far right.

First take cord 4, pass it over cord 3 toward cord 2, and make it parallel to cord 2. Then take cord 1, pass it over cord 2 toward cord 3, and make it parallel to cord 3.

Take cord 3, pass it over cord 1 toward cord 4, and make it parallel to cord 4. Take cord 2, pass it over cord 4 toward cord 1 and make it parallel to cord 1. Continue braiding by repeating steps 5 and 6 for 3 inches (8 cm).

Love Origami! 20 Simple Paper Projects to Fold, Style, and Share

Love Origami takes beginners straight to the really fun projects, with a maximum of satisfaction for a minimum of hours spent folding—and cursing! Author Ross Symons is an origami maverick. Shockingly, he has been known to draw faces on some of his animal creations. And his creativity extends to his witty and imaginative photo styling, as he uploads all his latest creations online and shares them with his 114,000 Instagram followers. Having pledged to make one origami piece each day for a year, Ross has no shortage of ideas—or experience. And as you’ll soon discover from this book, he is a great teacher. If you ever had a go at origami, and then gave up after the first try at a crane or a waterbomb base, then this book will be a revelation.

HORSE

Why the long face? I did not use any traditional bases for this design. Instead I tried to portray the essence of the horse in the shape of the face and pointy white ears. Reversing the paper so the white shows through is important to bring out the ear and nose details. You can add eyes and even nostrils to give it more character, if you like.

With white side facing up and on the diagonal, valley fold and unfold left corner to right corner and bottom corner to top corner through centre.

An invaluable reference for woodworkers, crafters, furniture designers, and DIY enthusiasts, this is a comprehensive guide to one of our most beautiful natural resources. Discover a world of wood, and find out how to use and appreciate this versatile material. A fact-packed introductory section explains the anatomy and life cycle of trees, the process of producing boards and veneers, and essential conservation issues.

The main A–Z section features 150 of the world’s most popular woods, with information on growth rate, distribution, key characteristics, working properties, and commercial uses. Every entry includes a detailed photograph to show grain, pattern, figure, and color, providing a valuable visual reference when selecting timber.

Jane Marshall has worked for many years with the Timber Research and Development Association, which is recognized as one of the world’s leading organizations concerned with the use and application of timber. Aidan Walker spent 10 years as a professional carpenter, joiner, and cabinetmaker, after which he became editor of Woodworker magazine, one of Britain’s leading journals of woodworking craft and design. He is now a freelance writer on design.

A TREE-BY-TREE GUIDE General Editor: Aidan Walker

Complete Book of Wood is the most informative and comprehensive guide for all those who fully appreciate the beauty of wood. It is much more than a craftsperson’s guide. The anatomy and life cycle of trees are described, as are the subtleties of grain, pattern, figure, and color. Forest types from around the world are explained and illustrated, with a special section on the complex subject of deforestation and conservation. The processes that wood undergoes between the forest and the end user are explored, including how timber is cut and the way in which this affects its use. Stress and grading, drying and conversion, and advanced wood manufacturing technology are all covered in detail. The book’s core is an A–Z directory of 150 of the world’s most popular and beautiful timbers. Growth and distribution, appearance, mechanical and working properties, and applications are listed, with each wood superbly illustrated in color. Growing demand and irresponsible management of a limited resource now mean that some species of this once plentiful material are almost extinct. Today, as never before, it is essential to work with wood in a thoughtful and economic way, to appreciate fully its characteristics and sensitively exploit its applications. Complete Book of Wood has been conceived and produced with these goals in mind.

General editor: Aidan Walker

Bill Lincoln has spent 30 years in the wood trade and is credited with being responsible for the revival of marquetry as a craft. He was elected president of the Marquetry Society and its first life member. He is the author of The Art and Practice of Marquetry and The Complete Manual of Wood Veneering, both of which are considered definitive works on their subject, World Woods in Color, and The Marquetry Manual.

Practice

1 Place one hand on your belly and one hand on your chest. Take a deep breath in through the nose, making sure that the diaphragm, not the chest, expands to stretch and fill the lungs. Bring in the inhale for a count of five seconds.

Abdominal breathing This slow, controlled, intentional breath is great to try before stressful events or as stress increases throughout the day.

2 With a slightly open mouth, allow the exhale to also extend for five seconds. At the end, pause for just a second and then bring the inhale back in through the nose for five seconds, followed by the five-second exhale.

Count 1–2–3–4–5

Takes 5-15 minutes You will need Essential oil (Lavender), candles, music player Level Easy

Set up an altar (see page 16), light candles, play some soothing music, and add anything you desire to create a calming space. If you’d like to use a soothing essential oil, like lavender, place one drop on the insides of wrists and one drop under the nose. Find a comfortable place to sit down. Sit cross-legged with your back straight with hands gently on knees. When you feel comfortable, I invite you to close your eyes. Begin by imagining your body as a big tree trunk in the woods.

Aftercare

Feel free to take a few minutes to write about any sensations you noticed in your body and track these throughout your weeks of practice. Make sure to hydrate before and after. Having a small snack before is a great idea, followed by a larger meal after. Best to not practice on a very full stomach.

Continue with the breathing sequence, opposite. In the first week, engage in the practice daily for five minutes, building to a fifteen-minute daily practice. Continue for six weeks or more to receive full benefits.

In a private and quiet space, set up an altar (see page 16), dim lights, and light candles.

If you’d like to use a soothing essential oil, a heart-opening oil like Rose or Tulsi is a lovely choice. Place one drop on the insides of your wrists and one drop over your heart.

the nose and exhale through the mouth for about a minute. Feel the weight of your body meeting the solid ground below you. On the exhales, adjust to get more comfortable. Continue with the breathing sequence, opposite. Engage in the practice for eight minutes of the active breath concluding with two minutes of a resting breath. You can try this breath daily, a couple of times a week, or when you feel overwhelmed or in need of reconnecting to yourself and your inner wisdom.

1 Before starting the breath, place one hand on your belly and one hand on your chest. Imagine there is a balloon in your belly and another in your chest. This breath is all through an open mouth so begin with it slightly open.

4 After eight minutes have passed you will begin the resting breath. Release the fast breath and close your mouth. Return to the longer, slower breath that you began with. Continue for two minutes. Then sit up slowly and take it easy as you might feel a little dizzy for a few minutes.

2 Draw a short, fast inhale into your belly, allowing the belly to expand. Quickly after, draw a short, fast, second inhale into your chest, allowing the chest to expand. Feel the breath move under your hands from belly to chest. Each inhale should be around two seconds long. 3 Quickly exhale, allowing the breath to be slightly clipped as you bring the inhale back into your belly, and your chest. Exhale for three seconds. Continue this breathing pattern for eight minutes.

Tips

This breath is fast and it can sometimes feel like it’s hard to “catch your breath.” It is also hyperoxygenating and, combined with the energy moving, you may feel tingling, cramping, or tension in your hands, feet, and around your mouth. If you feel this way, it will ease as you move through it but you can also use it to remind your body that this breath is chosen, rather than out of control.

If you look closely at the sickle-shaped leaves of the Eucalyptus, you will see tiny oil glands covering its surface. The potent oil finds many uses in fragrances, flu medications, insecticides, and even fuels. Similar to White Sage, Eucalyptus is known for its powerful cleansing and protective qualities. Use it to make a smudge stick or gather a few dried leaves and burn them as incense.

Danburite

The energy of seraphinite is one of protectiveness and refuge. It touches edges deep into the unknown parts of yourself and acts like an internal compass to navigate uncharted emotional territory. It has an enchanting effect on areas of constriction as it helps radiate a deeper sense of love for yourself and the collective.

The frequency of danburite matches the intensity of fear itself. Its accelerated lightning fast energy delivers a crystal-clear channel of acute information to override deeply ingrained programming. In the aftermath of its penetrating energy is an experience of total relief; a ceremonial cleansing like a breath of fresh air to greet you.

Ingredients 2 cups of almond milk 1 tsp of coconut oil 2 tsp of maple syrup 1 2 / tsp of cinnamon 1 tsp of pitaya/dragon fruit powder 1 pinch of nutmeg 1 pinch of cardamom Rose petals (optional for serving)

MEET GINA

Tips If using the rose petals, which I recommend, but would prefer a smoother milk texture, try grinding the petals up into finer pieces before garnishing.

I’m a certified health coach and health foodie fanatic. Having been diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago, I now follow a gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based diet and enjoy the creativity behind developing and photographing recipes that suit my lifestyle. Many of my fellow bloggers have praised the benefits of drinking Moon Milk—the ayurvedic tradition of having a cup of warm milk with healing herbs and spices before going to bed—and I decided to put together a collection of clean, non-dairy Moon Milk recipes so that anyone with food intolerances can still harvest the many benefits of this ancient drink.

Ever heard of drinking warm milk before bed to help you sleep? It stems from this ayurvedic remedy, but here I am giving this ancient moon milk a hip new twist by adding colorful superfoods and fragrant spices. So not only are we helping the occasional sleeplessness, but we’re amping it up with natural spices to help boost our immune system. In other words, it rocks! And like I always say, everything is better pink, so I decided to add pink pitaya (dragon fruit) powder and dried rose petals to mine, along with some cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Magical intention To ease the heart of sadness, regrets, and disillusionment; to create complimentary energies for becoming pregnant; to feel young and revitalized; to ignite the flame of personal creativity; to receive an abundance of love.

Magical working Inscribe your name along the side of the orange candle, dress it with bergamot oil, then place it in the east of the altar and light it. Inscribe the following words along the side of the light green candle: “Love, Abundance, Love.” Dress this candle with frankincense oil, then place it in the west of the altar and light it. Lay the Empress card between the two candles, study the card for a few moments, then recite:

THE MAJOR ARC AN A

YOU WILL NEED • Dark green altar cloth • Knife • Orange candle • Bergamot essential oil • Light green candle • Frankincense essential oil • The Empress card • Seashells • Flowers

“

Let this card represent the power of the goddess of love, and may this spiritual being look upon me as a fitting receptacle for blessing. May the energies of love, creativity, and harmony flow into and through my life from this point forward and for all time. So mote it be.

”

Take the seashells in your left hand, and the flowers in your right hand, and walk clockwise around the altar three times. At each of the compass points, pause, face outward from the altar, and bow your head, as if the goddess were approaching from each of the directions. Imagine that the air around you is a vibrant golden white, and picture this energy flowing directly into your heart.

Allow yourself to feel a sense of warmth, release, and completion. Face the altar again, and while looking at the Empress, pass your hands filled with shells and flowers from the tip of your head, down over your body, to your toes. As you do so, visualize the cleansing effect that the shells and flowers are having on your aura.

MIND AND SPIRIT

Depression I

t is normal to get a bout of the blues occasionally, but if these feelings start to interfere with your daily life and do not seem to subside, it could be a sign of clinical depression. Depression is a common problem. At least one in every six people will admit to feeling depressed at some point in their life, and one in 20 become clinically depressed. There is no one single cause of depression. In many cases, depression is first triggered by a traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one. It can also be caused by various health problems. Occasionally people become depressed in response to certain foods or poor nutrition, a lack of physical fitness, or an illness.

Symptoms

• Restlessness and agitation • Sleeping problems, including waking up early and feeling tired

• Excessive smoking and drinking alcohol • Poor appetite and weight loss • Memory loss • Feeling irritable or impatient, and getting no pleasure out of life

• Loss of libido • Low self-esteem • Preoccupation with negative thoughts, • •

and feelings of emptiness and despair Cutting yourself off from others emotionally Thinking about suicide

Treatment goal Establish the cause and severity of the depression. Identify and avoid triggers to relieve symptoms.

Mild cases may benefit from simple lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet. Severe cases will require long-term psychological treatment.

Treatment St. John’s wort Can be used to treat depression associated with a sense of loss of connection with others, loss of self-worth, or depression due to chronic pain resulting in insomnia. Its active constituents are thought to inhibit neurotransmitters in the brain, known as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Small amounts of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep induction, have been found within the herb. St. John’s wort is generally tolerated well; however it can cause side effects for those with bipolar disorder. The herb increases the liver’s metabolism of many drugs. Do not take this herb with anti-coagulant medications. Rhodiola Good for treating mild depression, especially when combined with increased levels of daily stress and physical exhaustion. Rhodiola can help improve physical performance, decrease fatigue and depression, and improve sleep. This herb contains high amounts of antioxidant flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, catechins, and rosavin, and increases neurotransmitters in the brain known to elevate moods. Take a 100 mg dose a day standardized to 2% rosavin, and increase to 300 mg daily if needed. Higher doses (above 200 mg) may cause irritability and insomnia.

187

Fatigue T

here are many reasons for feeling tired aside from lack of sleep. Triggers include a problem with blood sugar levels and adrenal exhaustion due to overdosing on stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, and chocolate. Maintaining an even blood sugar level is crucial to keeping consistent energy levels. Stimulants cause blood sugar levels to yo-yo and prompt your adrenal glands to produce bursts of adrenalin. This ultimately leads to exhaustion as your body tries to cope with the demands being made of it. Often a first sign of nutritional deficiency, regular feelings of fatigue can occasionally be a sign of a more serious condition.

Symptoms

• Feeling tired • Difficulty concentrating • Increased appetite Treatment goal Identify the cause and rule out any potentially serious conditions. To balance nutritional levels in the body, develop stress-reduction techniques, and restore quality of life.

Depression is a serious condition that should be monitored by a health professional. Herbal medicines should only be used in conjunction with treatments, such as counseling, that attempt to identify and treat any possible causes of the depression. Many of these herbs should not be taken in high doses by those taking conventional medication for depression.

Treatment Adaptogens, or tonics, are one group of herbal medicines commonly used to address fatigue. Adaptogens as a whole tend to improve energy, restore vitality, and allow greater resistance to stress by “tonifying” the adrenals, and immune and nervous systems. Siberian ginseng This is a bitter, warming herb used to improve symptoms of chronic fatigue, weakness, and debility. Current studies show that ginseng improves mental performance, increases physical work capacity, strengthens immune response, and improves stress adaptation. Begin dosing between 1–3 g per day of a capsule (standardized to 0.7 mg of eleutheroside E) or 2–6 ml of tincture per day. It is recommended that Siberian ginseng is taken for 6–12 weeks continuously, followed by a two to eight week break. Ashwaganda In Indian medicine, ashwaganda is used traditionally to restore vitality and as a mild aphrodisiac. Studies show ashwaganda has anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic, and immunemodulating properties, and is mildly sedating. Drink a decoction made by boiling 1 tbsp of dried root per cup of water or take 2 ml of tincture three times daily. Adaptogenic vitality formula Combine equal parts of astragalus, ginseng, devil’s club, licorice, and gotu kola to create a herbal formula that restores energy and supports immune function. Drink a decoction made from 1 tbsp of the combined dried herbs.

! Ashwaganda

Fatigue is commonly due to stress. However, it is best to seek advice from a doctor before self-treating to rule out any underlying causes. Consult a doctor if you experience serious, prolonged fatigue.

It lifts us up and brightens the spirit. Geranium is often associated with new beginnings and helps to release apprehension and negativity. The Epsom salts will help to detoxify, pulling unwanted elements from the body. This bath salt blend and ritual is perfect to utilize throughout the spring because in order to move forward with new ideas and goals, we must first let go of what is no longer serving us.

INGREDIENTS

Q Unscented liquid castile soap Q Lavender essential oil Q Pink grapefruit essential oil Q Geranium essential oil Q Epsom salts

METHOD Add 1 tablespoon of unscented liquid castile soap to a small bowl. Add 4 drops of Lavender, 2 drops of Pink Grapefruit, and 2 drops of Geranium. Mix the oils into the soap with a small spoon and as you are stirring gradually pour 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts into the mixture.

EQUIPMENT

Q Small mixing bowl Q Small mixing spoon

RITUAL

1/ Draw a warm bath. As the bath is filling think of what in your life is no longer serving you, that you wish to say goodbye to for the coming year. This can be anything: an emotion, a physical item, a behavior.

Essentail Oil Rituals

Bergamot & Jasmine Spring Equinox Inhaler The first day of spring is the perfect time to hold a ritual to nurture new ideas and establish goals for the coming year. This ritual utilizes a blend of essential oils that work in synergy with one another to help you determine the path you would like to take. Bergamot is a powerful mood enhancer that helps to promote inner confidence and creativity. It's a balancing oil that can assist you to achieve stability when navigating new circumstances. Jasmine helps to harness positive energy and can improve the clarity of your vision. Eucalyptus inspires and invigorates, rejuvenating the spirit and allowing you to take those first steps in a course of action. Use this inhaler after the ritual and refresh with more drops of essential oils when needed.

INGREDIENTS

Q Bergamot essential oil Q Jasmine sambac essential oil Q Eucalptus essential oil

EQUIPMENT

Q Cotton cloth Q Glass bottle with cap, no larger than 1 oz (30 ml)

2/ Dip the bowl with the mixture into the water and slowly swirl it around the length of the tub to ensure it is well incorporated into the water. As you step into the tub release all thoughts from your mind. Lay back with your eyes closed and deeply inhale the aroma. Let a sense of ease wash over you as you let go.

METHOD Cut a piece of cloth into a 1 inch (25.4 mm) square. Fold it up lengthwise and put it inside a small glass bottle. Drop the essential oils on to the cloth in the bottle: 15 drops of Bergamot, 1 drop of Jasmine sambac, and 1 drop of Eucalyptus. Make sure that you tightly cap your inhaler bottle when it's not in use.

RITUAL

1/ Early in the morning on the spring equinox, find an outdoor space where you feel safe, comfortable, and inspired. Bring a journal, your inhaler blend, and a small blanket to sit on. Feel free to decorate the area around you using flowers and/or stones that hold a significance for you.

2/ Clear your mind and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the nature around you. Close your eyes, uncap your inhaler, and bring it to your nose. Breathe in deeply, feeling the essential oils fill your lungs and your spirit. Stay here for a few minutes, meditating and smelling your inhaler as often as you would like.

Humpback whales have been traveling and singing through the world’s oceans for millions of years. This ancient mammal is a symbol of incredible transformation; believed to have evolved from terrestrial hoofed mammals some 45 million years ago. A species of baleen whale, humpbacks travel slowly and steadily to cover 16,000 miles in an average season. Their haunting calls, sung by “If this gentle giant comes male humpbacks, can go on for hours and carry into your life, slow down and for miles beneath the sea. Unlike humans who listen. You may be asked to breathe involuntarily, these intelligent beings dive deep within.” must be conscious of their breath. To go to sleep and still breathe, they shut off just half their brain at a time, aligning them with conscious awareness and lucid dreaming. If this gentle giant comes into your life, slow down and listen. You may be asked to dive deep within. Since water relates to the emotional realm, to dreams and to the unconscious, perhaps there’s something that is ready to emerge from the depths of your inner world. This whale reminds you to be conscious of your breath as you travel inward. These patient beings take their time but travel far. Is there a journey of the soul you’re ready to begin?

When you take a print of a palm, get into the habit of immediately drawing the quadrants on it, until you are completely familiar with the quadrants and can judge precisely where they are. Some people have enlarged quadrants and this gives certain natural tendencies which we shall investigate as we go through them individually.

The palm is split into four zones or quadrants. Markings or lines only relate to the quadrant they’re found on. To work out the quadrants, use a ruler and draw a line vertically downward from the middle of the middle finger to the slight hollow found at the middle base of the palm (the cusp). Then bisect this line with one drawn across the palm from the midpoint between the thumb joining point and the base of the index finger. This will give you four (slightly unequal) sections. The quadrants are: the Primal quadrant, relating to the home, body and family (in the area nearest the thumb); the Ocean quadrant, relating to the sea of the subconscious (found in PRIMAL

Abundant Lifestyle Charm Abundance isn’t just about money. In whatever way you want to enrich your life, this charm will attract it to you.

hroughout the far east and in ancient civilizations, rice was thought to be both sacred to the gods and beneficial to our prosperity. To enhance your petition to the universe use nine knots and nine grains of sacred white rice. Think carefully what you want “more of” before you start knotting! If you want more money, exactly how much do you want? If you want more free time, or abundant inspiration, then say exactly how much you want of whatever commodity it is. It’s no good asking the universe for “more money” because “more” could be five cents or five hundred thousand dollars. It’s all relative. So decide exactly what you want before you start the spell.

Light the candle, and write down what you want and how much you want on the piece of paper. Place the nine grains of rice in a circle around your written testament. Take up your cord and make nine simple knots, as you do so say, “With rice and cord I seal and secure For more of what’s been written here.” Place the knotted cord in a circle around the rice circle, gaze into the candle flame for a few moments focusing on your desired goal, then blow out the candle and leave the knot, rice, and paper in a safe place until the full moon, so your wish can be fulfilled.

Arrange the cords so that the two working cords are on the outside and the holding cords are in the center. Take the left-hand working cord over the two holding cords and underneath the right-hand cord.

Take the righthand cord under the two holding cords and up through the loop created to the left-hand side.

Take the righthand cord over the two holding cords and under the lefthand cord.

Take the left-hand cord under the two holding cords and up through the loop on the righthand side. Pull the tails of the cords to tighten the knot. This completes one square knot.

Line up your length. You can use scotch tape to hold them down. Start by taking the cord two under cord three and over cord four.

Then take cord one over the new cord two.

Hear the snow crunch

See the kids bunch around a snowman searching for

rocks and sticks and winterberries. Take off your hat or

toque and give it to Frosty for a while, just to see if it has the magic you were promised when you bought it from the mysterious pop-up costume store in the mall the

week before Christmas. Let the wind whistle through

your hair only as long as it takes to realize the snowman isn’t coming to life, because if you’re in the snow, it’s likely cold out. The scrunch, squeak, or slosh

of crystalized flakes of frozen water under your feet is a sound unlike any other; by attuning to this

fine frequency you will interface with the place that remains indescribable.

Harmony

Disharmony runs rampant in society because discord

runs rampant inside of humans. Some say harmonizing inner (and thus outer) disquiet is the secret to

enlightenment. As long as round-the-clock symmetry

eludes us, gently seeking-it-but-not-seeking-it seems to be the most direct way to wabi sabi. Once the kids are grown up, your records are a hit, and you’ve climbed

every mountain, what else is there to do? Unearth the charm buried in imperfection, of course.

Babies and young children are susceptible to a range of common ailments due to their immature immune systems. Though the majority of childhood ailments are no cause for serious concern, it can be a frightening experience having a young child who is unwell. Being able to identify your child’s ailment and then select the most appropriate remedy is of crucial importance to ensure both the quick relief of symptoms and a parent’s peace of mind. In this book all the major childhood ailments are covered, from skin ailments to respiratory problems and first-aid complaints such as chickenpox. Rather than taking a one-solution-fits-all approach, this graphic guide is unique in its comparative style. Conventional medical treatments for each ailment are provided, along with an overview of the injury, symptoms, and the treatment goal. Alongside this advice, treatments from the three main branches of alternative medicine—traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, and herbalism— are explained.

Bedrooms should be calm, clean spaces that promote a good night’s sleep. We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed and we should ensure that comfort and health are top of the agenda in the bedroom. A natural detox will refresh your bedroom space and keep allergies away.

The best duvets are filled with organic cotton or organic wool. Allergies can start at any time and although parents are sure to protect babies and small children, adults should prioritise purchasing natural duvets too. Covers should be made from organic cotton which is not only environmentally friendly but healthy as it is not impregnated with toxins. Duvet covers should be changed weekly and if washed in organic laundry liquids fragranced with organic essential oils, they will feel luxurious and fresh. Never dry clean duvets or you will add an unnecessary layer of toxins to your bedroom. Organic cotton duvets are suitable for hotter climates and can usually be machine washed. Always ensure that the water temperature is at least 140 °F (60 °C) so that bacteria and mites will be eliminated. Wool duvets should be aired frequently to avoid a build up of moisture.

om Plant fails to flower

Either peg wool duvets on the line on a sunny day or open the bedroom window and throw the duvet over the back of a chair. White vinegar is ideal for spot cleaning duvets but when your wool duvet needs a thorough wash, you should choose the wool cycle on your machine. Fresh air drying is a must, so make sure you choose a sunny, breezy day. If you don’t have access to a garden, dry a wool duvet on a drying rack with a window open nearby.

Pillows

Organic pillows are easy to find these days—look for those with GOTS certified sustainable cotton pillow cases. There are many exciting materials used to fill organic pillows including buckwheat, millet, kapok, cotton, and wool. You should choose the filling based on the firmness of the pillow and the degree of support you need. All natural pillows should be aired regularly.

Up to a third of the weight of your pillow could be dust, mites and moisture. Pillows can become a bio-hazard. Air and wash your pillows regularly for a healthy night’s sleep and renew them every 2 to 3 years.

It is best to start by standing back and looking at your home from a different perspective— how often is the room used? Who occupies the room most? Are pets allowed here? We must also consider if there are any hazards or pinch-points. Examples might include a lack of storage in the kitchen, children sharing bedrooms, or poor ventilation in the bathroom. It may not be possible to solve these issues in the short term but there are many ways a natural detox can help you create peaceful spaces that will cultivate order and well-being in your home.

Cure Check that you are feeding the plant regularly. Turn the plant out of its pot; if you see the root system spiralling around the perimeter of the root ball it needs re-potting.

17 There are about 20 species of scindapsus, each with a characteristic tendency to wrap itself around the nearest object. All the varieties can be grown either upright on a pole, or in a hanging basket.

Scindapsus

Healthy plant This easy going house plant will thrive almost anywhere providing it is warm. Pinch out the growing tips to promote bushy growth. Although slow to start with, scindapsus make very good climbing plants given a moss pole or some alternative form of support.

Devil’s Ivy, Pothos Vine, Solomon Island’s Vine, or Golden Hunter’s Robe

The scindapsus is one of the most remarkable foliage plants of them all. When they first appeared on the market, they were tender and difficult to care for, they are now among the most rewarding of indoor plants. Obviously a tougher selected strain has been developed to make the radical change possible and today the scindapsus is a decorative plant with mustard and green variegation that is tolerant of a wide range of conditions in the home. Even when placed at the furthest point from the light source, the variegation is rarely affected — a quality that is unusual in most plants with variegated foliage.

Varieties and purchasing Scindapsus plants come in many shapes and sizes and most shops will have a selection. Some will be displayed as climbing, others trailing. Choose plants with firm leaves that stand out cleanly from the stem. Ignore any with curled, drooping leaves.

Monstera deliciosa

should be allowed to dry out between waterings. During active growth water moderately. In winter, when the plant is dormant, water only enough to keep the potting mixture slightly moist. Ӱ Feeding Being fairly sturdy, the scindapsus does not need large amounts of fertilizer. Small, established plants should have a weak feed with each watering. Larger plants need a stronger dosage. During active growth, apply a liquid fertilizer every two weeks.

Ӱ Temperature range In their active period, these plants prosper in normal room temperatures between 59° -70°F (15°-21°C), with 65°F (18°C) being ideal. In winter, a temperature of 59°F (15°C) will give the plant a chance to rest, and they can tolerate a Seasonal Plant care Keep the potting Swiss Cheese Plant, Mexicanof Breadfruit temperature 50°F (10°C).

immense appeal. Indigenous to Mexico, it now grows well in most tropical and indoor environments. Easily raised 162 from seed, the monstera is therefore an ideal plant for the commercial grower who can produce uniform quality plants with little difficulty, so long as the reasonably undemanding requirements are provided. Indoors, the naturally glossy green leaves, interesting habit of growth and ease of cultivation ensure that the monstera will always be one of the most popular houseplants.

Ӱ Light and position Avoid strong sunlight and dark corners. Monsteras are happiest in locations with ample space.

Endless questions are asked about this attractive plant, chief among them being what should be done about the natural aerial roots that protrude from the stem of the plant. Where there is an excessive amount of these roots, it will do no harm to remove some of them, but it is really much better to tie the roots neatly to the main stem of the plant so that they may grow naturally into the soil in the pot when they are long enough. The important thing to remember is that these roots will draw up food and moisture to nourish the plant, so any drastic removal of the roots would weaken it.

Ӱ Feeding This plant produces masses of roots in its active period, so it must be given regular feeding at this time. During less active periods, feed only if new leaves are being produced.

128

COMMON CONCERNS Some problems scindapsus are prone to include: Botrytis (far right) This causes wet, brown patches on the leaves. Remove any leaves which are infected. Aphids These are found on the leaves of young plants. Control with a soapy spray. Mealy bug (right) Treat the bugs with methylated spirits. ARACEAE

Ӱ Watering Monsteras should be kept moist, especially if in dry surroundings. Sponge the leaves with water to keep them clean.

Ӱ Seasonal care If the plant is healthy, potting can be done at any time of year but should be avoided in colder months. Ӱ Soil Soil should be peat-based.

waterings. Yellowing leaves are an indication that the plant is both too cold and too wet. These damaged leaves will never recover and should be removed. Pests It is extremely unusual for the monstera to suffer from pests.

Ӱ Temperature range A range of 59°-70°F (15°-21°C) is ideal.

COMMON CONCERNS Overwatering Always ensure the correct temperature for your monstera. A plant kept at the lower end of the scale will need a great deal less water than one growing in a warmer room. The plant only ever needs moderate amounts of water; provide enough to keep the compost moist, allowing the top two-thirds to dry out between

well back. Stem cuttings can be rooted in spring in either water or soil. The plants can be moved to a pot one size larger each spring. When the maximum size has been reached, replenish the topsoil. Ӱ Soil Avoid putting plants in pots too large for their size. When repotting, the new pots should be only 1-2in (2.5-5cm) larger. Use a soil-based potting compost. When propagating, plant cuttings in a moistened mixture of peat moss and coarse sand.

Ӱ Light and position All scindapsus plants abhor strong, direct light. They also do not like shade, except for S. aureus which will maintain its distinctive yellow streaks if kept in low light. Bright, indirect light is ideal for most types.

DESCRIPTION

Flowers: Numerous small white daisylike flowers with golden centers bloom from midsummer to early fall. Leaves: The light green to golden green leaves are deeply loved and divided into three segments; they generally grow up to 3 inches long. Plants die back during the winter months. Flavor and fragrance: Feverfew has a bitter flavor and aroma. H O W TO G R O W

When to plant: Sow indoors about eight weeks before your last spring frost date and transplant to the garden a week or two after that date. South of Zone 5, plant directly in the garden once soil temperatures

have reached 60°F. Divide in spring; take root divisions with some stem in early fall. Where to plant: Feverfew prefers full sun but tolerates partial or filtered shade. Soil and fertility: Plant in well-drained soils with average fertility. Excess nitrogen reduces flower production. Plant spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart. Pests: Aphids Diseases: Susceptible to root rot in soggy soils HARVESTING

When to harvest: Harvest leaves in the morning when the dew has dried. Pick leaves to dry for medicinal use before plant blooms. Cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements in dry

weather, when the blooms are three-quarters open. How to harvest: Snip off individual leaves. Cut whole stems, an inch or so above the soil surface, for drying. Drying: Hang stems upside down to air dry. Freezing: Freeze leaves in ice cubes.

Medicinal: Infusions of feverfew have been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. Simply eating no more than three or four fresh leaves a day also has this effect. Because they taste bitter, you may want to drizzle honey on them to mask the flavor. Feverfew leaves also give relief from arthritis pain and impart calm and well-being. Arrangements: Use feverfew flowers in fresh arrangements or dry them for winter bouquets.

Bees dislike the odor of feverfew pollen and will steer clear of it; leave at least 20 feet between feverfew and any flowers, such as raspberries, that bloom at the same time and require pollination. |

HOW TO G ROW

HARVESTING

When to plant: Plant in your garden or move containers outdoors after all danger of frost is past and night temperatures are 50°F or higher. Scented geraniums are best started from cuttings or young plants, but seeds are available for apple, coconut, and peppermint geraniums. Seeds are slow to germinate. Sow seeds in a flat and keep on a heated mat at 80°F; prick out

When to harvest: Pick individual leaves anytime after a plant reaches 5 to 6 inches tall. Harvest quantities of leaves for drying anytime in the growing season, picking in the morning when the dew has dried. For maximum fragrance, harvest leaves before flowers appear. Snip off flower clusters when three-quarters of the blooms have opened.

at the same time. Fragrance varies remarkably with different species and cultivars – scented geraniums can smell like spicy roses, lemons, apples, or even pineapples.

individual seedlings as they sprout and transplant them into small individual pots. Allow at least three months for seeds to germinate. Where to plant: Plants prefer full sun but tolerate the filtered light of a south windowsill. Soil and fertility: Pot in a humus-rich medium and keep moist. Plant spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart. Pot cuttings in 4-inch containers and move up as the plants grow. A fully mature scented geranium will fill a 12-inch pot. Pests: Whiteflies Diseases: Bacterial wilt, botrytis blight, root rot

DESCRIPTION

Flowers: Not nearly as flashy as common bedding geraniums, these plants have open clusters of usually pale pink or white flowers. The upper two petals are usually larger than the lower three and are often a different color. Most species that are kept indoors all winter will bloom in late winter. Plants kept outdoors bloom in summer. Leaves: Scented geraniums offer a wonderful variety of leaf shapes and textures. Some are dainty and scalloped, others broad and lobed, or lacy, crinkled, or curled, in all shades of green and gray-green. Flavor and fragrance: The flavor of scented geraniums is somewhat sweet and refreshing

Charisma Cream Blush

LIFESTYLE

This blush is the perfect shade of pinky peach with a very slight hint of gold shimmer. It has a cream base so it can double as a lip gloss. I have named it Charisma because of the many compliments I get when I wear it as it creates such a beautiful, healthy glow.

2 Add in the colorants and stir and smooth until the pigments are fully incorporated in the melted base. This takes about 4 minutes. With a current herbarium collection approaching 400 different species, I seek to share the spectacular diversity of colors, forms, and textures that each species provides through my online herbarium catalog, as well as through my Instagram account. High resolution photographs, enlarged and printed as fine art prints, highlight the details of each plant. This project has encouraged me to take a closer look at my surroundings and has cultivated a renewed sense of wonder for nature, and my goal is to bring this same experience to others who view my work.

replied, “How interesting! So at least 11 members were born in the same month,” to which Mycroft responded, “Quite so, Sherlock, and yet intriguingly it is not the case that more than 11 members share the same month of birth.” Given this, how many members could there be in the Diogenes Club?

FOUR CANDLES Problem Solving

«««

he Victorian era saw the greatest amount of church building since the Middle Ages. One devout parishioner was helping the vicar work out the most economical way to buy white candles for a recently built church. There were four options:

a. A box of 24 candles that lasted 1.5 hours each that cost a penny each. b. A box of 36 candles that lasted 2 hours and cost tuppence each. c. A box of 18 candles that lasted 2.5 hours each and cost 1.5 pence each. d. A box of 42 candles that lasted 3 hours each and cost 2.5 pence each. The vicar is purely interested in getting the longest burn time out of a box of candles at the lowest price. Given this, which box should the parishioner recommend?

The study of comparative anatomy has led to some of the most striking images ever created. For two and a half thousand years, the animal body has been picked apart to drive arguments in natural philosophy, to reinforce dogma, to remind us of death, to horrify, educate, and enthral us. This book recounts the intertwined intellectual and artistic journeys of comparative anatomy from antiquity to the present day. Veterinary anatomist David Bainbridge’s lyrical descriptions of sheep’s livers and umbilical cords that attach the unborn foal, combined with captivating illustrations from history’s animal anatomists, make for a beautiful volume.

REFERENCE & GIFT

How Zoologists Organize Things The Art of Classification The human quest to classify living beings has left us with a rich artistic legacy. Animals were among the fi rst subjects ever drawn. The urge to make sense of the bewildering variety of animal life around us always had a practical basis—to differentiate the edible, the toxic, the ferocious, and the tractable— but it also has an artistic drive, too. Long before Darwin, or Watson and Crick, our ancestors were obsessed with the visual similarities and differences between the creatures which inhabit the Earth alongside us. Early savants could sense there was an order, a scheme, which unified all life. And the schemes they formulated often tell us just as much about ourselves as they do about the animals depicted. This book tells the story of this artistic systematization of the beasts. These charts of the zoological world parallel prevailing artistic trends and scientifi c discoveries, yet there are conceptual threads which run throughout: animal life as a parable, a tree, a maze, a terra incognita, a mirror upon ourselves..

Nature as Art and Design

The Work of Ernst Haeckel

Adrian Holme

AUTHOR Adrian Holme

Ernst Haeckel was a renowned nineteenth/twentieth century biologist and illustrator of science whose visual works influenced a generation of Art Nouveau artists and designers, and remains influential today. His vivid, rich, highly-designed zoological illustrations are drawn together and critically contextualized in this volume in a comprehensive account suitable for all those interested in the history of science or the history of design. High quality reprints of carefully selected works are accompanied by a clear and readable explanatory text written by lecturer, illustrator, and author Adrian Holme. Find out about the origins of, and ideas behind, Haeckel’s works and their relationship with traditions of biological illustration and allied design.

SPECIFICATIONS 92⁄3 × 62⁄3in

• 246 × 170mm • 192pp

LEFT Figures 1–3 refer to a species collected in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, a creature 5 ⁄8–3⁄4in. (15-20 mm) in length. In the Challenger Reports, this illustration is accompanied by detailed text above. In this illustration Haeckel, seamlessly integrates diagrammatic elements, dissection views, and objective representation. Colors, somewhat abstracted, help to clarify the illustration. The name Alophota Giltschiana (figure 1) is presumably a tribute to Haeckel’s lithographer, Adolf Giltsch. Figures 4–8 refer to a second species Arethusa

SCIENCE AND STYLIZATION

CODE 307389

Haeckel would be criticized on the objectivity and accuracy of his work, especially in relation to the embryo prints—a debate that still rages on in the 21st century. The plates from the Challenger Reports still dwell within the traditions of scientific illustration, in that they seek clarity, objectivity, and accuracy. But aesthetically something marks them out as different. One could say that they are “stylized.” Perhaps this stems from the collaborative process in which Haeckel painted the image, Giltsch made a lithograph, Haeckel composed a plate and Giltsch executed the whole plate in lithography. Some tidying up, clarification, and stylization along the way was almost inevitable. The degree to which Haeckel is able to work seamlessly between the external, objective, perspectival view, the dissection view, and the more abstractly diagrammatic, is impressive. More impressive still is the way in which the dead seems restored to vivid life. This is part of the tradition of science illustration that we can trace back at least to Leonardo da Vinci. But there is something else. In these creatures of the deep there is an uncanny quality, a strangeness suffused with a kind of eroticism. These are qualities that Haeckel brought to the fore in his later works aimed at a popular audience.

Haeckel’s Works 1862-1889

TOP LEFT Monochrome plate of a species, collected in Sri Lanka, measuring 3 ⁄4in. (20mm) wide by 11⁄2in. (40mm) in length. As ever with Haeckel, an objective scientific description is present, yet the drawings are fantastic. Much of Haeckel’s work seems to have

erotic qualities. BOTTOM LEFT Collected in the North Pacific, this Siphonophore 3⁄4 –11⁄4in. (20–30 mm) in width, has an obvious resemblance to fungi from which its name derives—a visual rather than a biological relationship.

Sloths can slow their heart rate to one-third of its normal pace, allowing them to hold their breath underwater for up to 40 minutes. For humans, slower breathing is healthier and usually indicates a relaxed state. In fact, learning to breathe at around 6 per minute well below the usual 12–16 takes you into the so-called coherence range when your breathing is most eﬃcient—and your heart and lungs are working well together. There are plenty of studies that show that learning to breathe slowly and under control can reduce stress, PTSD, panic attacks, and anxiety. So unless you feel stressed when your breathing slows down, enjoy the benefits.

Mankind’s 5000 year thirst for knowledge The e-book age has taken the book to a turning point. But in fact, casting off old technologies and taking on new ones has been part of the history of the book since Egyptian times. At this crucial time for the future of books as we know them, this volume tells the story from the very beginning. From inscriptions on tombs to the first writings on papyrus; from scrolls to the first bound codex books in Roman times; from exclusive and expensive hand-scribed books to the creation of movable type and the invention of printing for the masses; and from the printed book to the digital book, the e-book reader and beyond – discover the History of the Book in 100 Books. Illustrating this story with lavish photography are some of the most treasured artefacts from the world’s historic collections. Some books are selected because they are classic examples of a stage in the history of book production, others because of their content and impact; but each plays its part in tracing mankind’s 5000-year quest to communicate ideas and knowledge.

Roderick Cave has worked with rare-book collections and in developing information-science courses at UNESCO and in libraries and universities across the world. He has advised on book history at several American universities and museums, as well as being a consultant at the British Library, which has published three of his recent books. Sara Ayad has spent a lifetime with books: as a reader, library assistant, bookseller, editor and, latterly, picture researcher. A long stint with The Folio Society extended her broad understanding of the rich heritage of publishing and her aesthetic appreciation of the book as an object. Since 2001 she has been freelance, specialising in picture research for some of Britain’s foremost art institutions.

STRATEGIES THAT CHANGED HISTORY

ehind history’s defining moments have been great strategies—and the people

who planned them. From cunning military tactics to innovations that changed the way people do business; strategies have been employed across the fields of politics, military, business, and commerce. Successful strategies have determined how wars are fought, power managed, and everything from banks to fashion houses run. By studying the great strategies of history we follow a rich tradition of learning from past example: Those giants of the ancient world, Alexander the Great and Hannibal, remained textbook examples of warfare strategy for modern military leaders including World War II supreme commander, and future US president, Dwight Eisenhower. Even the oldest military strategies, such as the sly ploy of the Trojan horse, have found modern counterparts—the aptly named “Trojan” computer viruses of the twenty-first century. More than a history of key events, 50 Strategies That Changed History is the story of the men and women who challenged the status quo and in doing so shaped the world we live in today.

ANIMAL MIGRATION

Endangered Birds is a celebration of the wonderful diversity of bird life and the diverse landscapes in which they live. However, it is also a timely reminder of the endangered state of the world’s habitats and wildlife. And the serious pressures that humans are putting on planet Earth threaten bird life worldwide. Comprehensive in scope and content, Endangered Birds has been written by an acknowledged natural history expert, with the support of BirdLife International, a pivotal organization in the conservation of birds. • Contains all the bird species that are Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered • Summarizes the pressures that threaten birds around the world • Describes the major habitats of the world and the threats to them and their bird fauna • Presents the conservation actions that are in place to rescue threatened bird species

for many people, birds are some of the most visible and attractive of all our wildlife – they inspire and delight us, whether seen in the garden or spotted while on vacation. They are also vital indicators of environmental degradation, since they respond quickly to changes around them – diminishing populations of wild birds point to environmental dangers and deteriorating conditions. A healthy population of birds and a high diversity of different bird species are sure signs that conditions are good and that a habitat is in a stable and balanced state. The inherent popularity of birds means they can be flagships for conservation efforts, through which habitats and a myriad of other life forms are protected for the future.

ENDANGERED

BIRDS

Bird Watch first looks at the threats there are to our bird life and then examines the habitats of endangered birds from all over the planet, highlighting key endangered species and habitats. A major section lists every bird on the IUCN/Birdlife International Red List that are listed as Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered, and supplies profiles for over 150 of them. There follows an overview of the conservation measures being taken to protect birds, and the book concludes with a list of the world’s best birding sites. This beautifully illustrated book is both a celebration of the beauty and diversity of birds and their habitats, and a warning of the plight of many species around the world.

How to Choose the Right Dog for You Choosing a dog is like choosing a partner—you need to be sure you can get along, have similar interests, and are both willing to make compromises. If you’re more of a sofa surfer than an exercise junky, you should steer clear of the Irish Setter and the Belgian Sheepdog because these dogs love to run. And, if your home isn’t spacious, you might not have the room for a Saint Bernard or a Great Dane. So how do you choose your canine friend for life? The Dog Selector makes it easy. Expertly written text supplemented with helpful sidebar features, engaging photography, and intriguing facts on 130 of the most common breeds ensures that you’ll find your perfect canine companion. A carefully planned questionnaire at the end of the book directs you to detailed profiles of your top ten breeds, matching your personality and lifestyle to a suitable dog. Whether you need a low-maintenance Labradoodle or a super-smart German Shepherd Dog, you’ll find the right dog in this book.
