These beautiful soft furnishings will help turn your house into a warm and welcoming home., Drawing inspiration from the interiors and fashions of the twentieth century, this great new book is packed full of knit and crochet projects which will fit perfectly into any vintage-inspired interior. The craft skills that have traditionally been passed down through the generations from mother to daughter are as popular as ever, boosted by the current vogue for all things vintage. Creating your own bespoke home furnishings is now seen not just as an exercise in thrift, but as a creative and rewarding activity in itself. Two Tone Chic draws inspiration from the sophistication and elegance of Coco Chanel's famous little black dress, the drama of geometric art deco shapes, and the simplicity of embellishments such as ribbons and lace. Folk Tales introduces the tradition of colour and spontaneity found in Scandinavian and Russian folk art, with its recurring motifs from the natural world, as well as joyful decorative techniques like bobbles, beads, pom poms, embroidery and applique. Birds and flowers adorn cushions, while the bright colours of Russian Dolls provide inspiration for a cosy blanket and a sumptuous floor cushion. Time for Tea brings us to the 'make do and mend' era of the 1950s with its floral frocks and afternoon tea parties. Pretty vintage buttons, frills and lace are all in evidence here, with floral cushions, doilies and table runners. With feature spreads on the inspiration behind each look, these projects will help you turn your house into a home. Word count: 40,000, Over the past few years the demand for crochet workshops has increased. Not only do people want to learn the craft from scratch, but also many are returning to it after having been taught the craft as a child. The traditional 'Granny square' of the past is being replaced by contemporary projects. More and more designers are using crochet as either the main fabric of a garment, or as an embellishment on a knitted base. A crochet fabric lends itself fantastically to the furnishing market. A crochet fabric is thicker and denser in appearance than its knitted equivalent, making the fabric more hard-wearing and less liable to stretch. Knitted fabrics too have ideal properties for use in the home interior and are ideal as the base fabrics for cushions, throws and blankets. Handmade Woollen Home introduces both knitters and crocheters alike to a world of contemporary pieces and panels which can be used to decorate the home interior, whilst also enhancing skills and abilities. Divided into four design stories - Time for Tea, Folk Tales, Moroccan and Monochrome - projects include cushions, blankets, bolsters and lampshades. With feature spreads on the inspiration behind each look, these projects will help you turn your house into a home.

With devastating candor, he memorializes a short-lived but important movement and the men who made it happen.The book begins by advising the reader on how to assess their own situation regarding soil, climate, orientation and influence of surrounding buildings and vegetation.Chronicles of Flora's career, personal vignettes, and mementos from the family archives augment the images.Although a lot of his work appears cartoonish, Flora didn't draw comics.Looking in the mirror, she suddenly realized she didn't have a boyfriend because of the way she dressed.The Sweetly Diabolic Art features paintings, drawings, and sketches from the 1940s through the 1990s, most never previously published or exhibited, as well as more artifacts from Flora's 1940s tenure in the Columbia Records art department and rare newspaper and magazine illustrations spanning several decades.Nobody wants to look like everyone else and Lisa shows you just how easy it is to stand out from the crowd.
