A 30-day masterclass in the art of using watercolor to tell your own stories Unlike most watercolor instruction books on the market, which are based on rote copying of classic watercolor subjects (flowers, landscapes), in Thinking in Watercolor author and in-demand illustrator Jessie Kanelos Weiner encourages readers to use the art as a means of self-expression. With 30 days of prompts, she guides readers through foundational watercolor techniques and how to adapt them to share their personal experiences: On Day 10 they’ll illustrate a family recipe; on Day 14 they’ll go on a scavenger hunt through a local museum. The result is an inspiring, encouraging, and creatively challenging practice. As both a commercial illustrator and professional art instructor, Jessie is uniquely poised to offer readers insider tips and tricks and clever visualizations of the creative process. And she brings each lesson to life with her vivid illustrations and stories from her life as an ex-pat in Paris. It all adds up to a volume that’s at once inspiring, charming, and informative—the perfect gift for anyone looking to begin or reignite a personal art practice.

Discover 8 enchanting little gnomes to knit, from popular knitting designer and gnome enthusiast, Sarah Schira. In the depths of Grimblewood forest, tucked away under rustling pine and spruce trees, you’ll find the Grimblewood gnomes: an eclectic and kindly bunch, ready to welcome anyone who rambles their way. From Gnorri, the skilled gardener tending to the Ancient Oak, to Gnoddy, who loves a cup of acorn and chanterelle tea, here is a charming circle of gnomes to knit and befriend... Need-to-gnome: Discover all the materials and notions you need, as well as all the necessary know-how, including how to block, stuff and assemble your gnomes to create their distinct personalities. Each gnome has their own distinguishing features: choose from hats with earflaps, cablework, tassels or whimsical curled tips; choose outfits with colourwork details, stripes or cabling; create majestic beards with corkscrew curls or delicate loops, or even add some beard pockets! Suitable for confident knitters, the book contains all the necessary colourwork and cable charts, along with Sarah’s ‘Chart of Everything’: the ultimate guide to calculating the yarn weights you need for each and every gnome. Every gnome is made in two weights of yarn – fingering (4-ply) and light worsted (DK/8-ply) – so you can knit your chosen new friend in a small or medium size. Or both! Advice is given on how to adapt your gnomes to make them child-friendly, if you wish to make friends for the little ones in your life. #NeverNotGnoming

200 essential stitches, curated by the most prestigious embroidery institution in the world: the Royal School of Needlework (RSN). Embroidery is a living art. The aim of the RSN Stitch Bank is to ensure that hand embroidery is not just kept alive, but flourishes into the future. The 200 stitches in this book are a mix of practical and purely decorative, carefully selected to provide a broad and varied basis for any embroiderer. This book aims to empower every embroiderer to create contemporary works informed and supported by centuries of experience. All 200 stitches are fully explained with written instructions, illustrations and photographs. To make the book as easy-to-use as possible, each stitch details the embroidery disciplines it is used for, and any alternative names. The stitches have been divided across 7 chapters, each covering a particular usage, from shading to edging, to make them easy to apply to your own work. This sumptuous book also showcases historical pieces from the RSN’s unparalleled Collection and Archive, with stunning photography and expert insight, bringing the skills, work and experience of the past to life. The book is designed to complement the unique RSN Stitch Bank (rsnstitchbank.org), an online resource created by the Royal School of Needlework to conserve and preserve every stitch around the globe. The Royal School of Needlework, or RSN, was founded in 1872 with a mission to preserve the art of hand embroidery. To mark the RSN's 150th anniversary, RSN Stitch Bank (rsnstitchbank.org), was launched to continue this mission; digitally conserving and showcasing the wide variety of the world’s embroidery stitches and the ways in which they have been used in different cultures and times. The RSN Stitch Bank is an ongoing project. More stitches are added regularly and the RSN work with partners around the world to include stitches from different traditions. The Stitch Bank currently includes more than 400 stitches, divided across 28 disciplines, from crewel embroidery to whitework.

Stenciled Book Edges Kit

Create your own beautiful collectors’ editions of your favorite books by stenciling their edges! The tradition of fore-edge painting, or edge painting, describes all the activities related to embellishing the paper edges of a book. Dating back to tenth-century England, the practice reached the peak of its popularity in the second half of the seventeenth century but continued throughout the eighteenth century. At the time, the art of aging book edges was done by specialists, as the ornamentation was seen as a central part of the book’s appearance. A painted-edge book stood out. It made each book unique, and artists could push each one’s brilliance as far as they desired. No longer confined to books found in antique shops, today’s decorative collectors’ editions come straight from the publisher, with marbling or patterned fore-edges that often mimic the look of the book’s cover. Some are spray-painted in a single block of color, while others use the type of stencil designs included in this kit, such as: roses dragons and castle sword mountains sun, moon, and stars crystals feather snake whisk letters Now you, too, can create your very own collectors’ editions of your favorite books with Stenciled Book Edges Kit. Inside, you will find: 2 plastic clamps 1 sponge dabber 1 foam brush 4 acrylic paints 6 vinyl adhesive stencils with 10 designs 32-page full-color instruction book So why add this touch of antiquarian finery to your bookshelf? There’s something about reading a decorated-edge edition that just feels special—both elegant and clandestine at the same time. With the splash of color and images along the outer edge of the book, you’ve not only made the book more aesthetically pleasing, but you can add meaningful detail and secret symbolism from within the book. With these creative additions, every inch of your book is a canvas for your imagination and creativity. These stencils will add beauty to your private collection of books, and they make an excellent gift.
