  A practical and inspirational guide to help embroiderers and textile artists make the most of sketchbooks to inform their creative work.
  The artist's sketchbook offers an exciting platform to explore a host of mixed media techniques. Using a combination of paper, textiles, found objects, pencil, ink and paint, Shelley Rhodes shows how a sketchbook can act as an illustrated diary, a visual catalogue of a journey or experience or as a starting point for more developed work. 
  Whether out on location or in the studio, Rhodes explores every stage of the creative process, from initial inspiration to overcoming the fear of a blank page, manipulating paper and images and incorporating 'found' objects to build a sketchbook that is both beautiful and inspiring. Sketchbook Explorations is the ideal companion for everyone from the beginner to the more experienced artist looking for exciting techniques to expand their repertoire in mixed media.
  The book explores:
  
  - Why work in sketchbooks? The importance and joy of working in a sketchbook.
  - Ways of recording and investigating ideas that inspire.
  - Techniques in mixed media from found objects and layers to three-dimensional sketching.
  - Creating on location.
  - Using electronic devices to develop ideas.

  Fourteen stories of food, love and origin
  
  
  An anthology of essays and personal recipes, this book invites the question: what does food mean to you? How is that bond with family passed down through food and the act of sitting down to eat? What happens when that is lost? Everybody has a story, a recipe, a memory - good or bad - that involves a meal with family. From displacement, to relocation, fleeing, or arriving at leisure, these essays explore what it means to be able to cook and enjoy the food of your home and your happiness. Ranging from Winberry Pie, Staffordshire oatcakes, to lamb chops with a Zimbabwean twist; Bouillabaisse, Moroccan Keftas and Filhoses, this is a round-the-world recipe book with bite.
  
  'A delicious and moving compendium of memories, longing and recipes you will want to cook' - Jay Rayner
  
  'Cooking always was (and is) an act of love. There is no better way of showing someone how much they mean to you than sitting together at the table sharing a meal you just prepared. Food is what brings us together, the cure for broken hearts and all other minor ailments.' Candida Nibau, Filhóses

  The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
   
   
   
  Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
   
   
   
  As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
   
   
   
  In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.
