I N FO R M A T
This creative book encourages people to experiment with stitch, fabric and thread to create their own unique textiles. It is created for people who are who are interested in embroidery and stitch generally, who are uninspired by the usual 'beginner's guide' or 'how to' style of book, and are looking for a book that is heavy on content, but presents the material in a way that is visually exciting and stimulating. It is a treasure trove of over 40 inspiring practical exercises, a rich and creative exploration of fabric and stitch, and a fascinating all-round read. Alternatively, try a host of other techniques such as quilting, printing, dyeing, couching tumbled crockery, creating pleats and puckers and needlelace.
Elizabeth Healey originally trained as a typographer and graphic designer at the London College of Printing, after which she worked in various design groups before defecting to the world of illustrated books. While working at Quarto Publishing (on both live titles and new ideas), she completed a degree, then an MA, in English at Birkbeck College. Elizabeth has contributed articles to the following magazines: Knitting, Making, Crafty, and Felt Matters.

She runs papercutting events linked to exhibitions, and she exhibits in London and the west of England. She has produced commissions, exhibition pieces and book illustrations in the US.|Jessica's first colouring book Tangle Wood was an immediate best-seller. Jessica lives in Bath, United Kingdom.

The Complete Guide to Anatomy for Artists & Illustrators
Originally published in German in 1964, Professor Gottfried Bammes’|Die Gestalt des Menschen|is still considered the definitive guide to drawing the human form. Having undergone numerous editions since it was first published and still much in demand today, this, the first ever English translation of the complete work, has been long awaited. Based on the most recent German edition and faithful to the original, it contains over 1200 photographs, diagrams and drawings, including work by the author himself, and spans over 500 pages. This comprehensive guide begins with the history of human anatomy for artists, and its influence on the development of the artistic visualisation of the body. Bammes goes on to explore in depth the human skeleton and musculature; the proportions of the body; the static and dynamic laws of posture and movement; body language; and the interrelationships of the various elements of the body.|

Create your own beautiful floral jewellery with small beads, needle and thread. Each major project has fully illustrated step-by-step instructions with lots of diagrams to guide you through the making process, and is followed by further instructions to create even more pieces inspired by, and related to, the major project. There are beautiful projects for beginners like the Eloise necklace and bracelet, and the Carmen necklace and bracelet, through to more advanced projects like the cascading delight of the Sinensis necklace and the structured beauty of the Kyoto necklace and Akiko brooch. To complete the collection there is even a very cute Bee Hive beaded box with a hinged lid.

About The Author Carolyn Pearce has always been fascinated by fabrics, laces, threads and buttons. She learned to embroider 'properly' in the 1980s and was hooked. Describing herself as a ‘frustrated artist’, Carolyn uses her threads as a paint box. Her favourite technique is always the one she is working on now and her ‘other love’ - the garden - provides constant inspiration for her needlework. Carolyn has a BA Dip. Ed. and her teaching and writing skills are put to good use in workshops throughout Australia. She is also the convenor for the course in Silk Ribbon Embroidery at the Embroiderers' Guild of New South Wales.
