  A textile artist's guide to creating exquisite, intimate and nostalgic work inspired by the home.
  Ali Ferguson's work takes inspiration from domestic life and the objects that surround and comfort us in our homes. Vintage fabric and hand-embroidered text are beautifully paired to create evocative pieces that are imbued with the magic of everyday existence.

Chapter Two shows how to translate these ideas into stitch and select the perfect materials for the mood you want to convey in your work. The rest of the chapters take you through the different rooms in a typical home, from kitchen to bedroom, giving a wealth of ideas for finding inspiration from each of these spaces in your own household, accessing memories, stories and emotions to help you create intensely personal and meaningful textile art pieces.
  Beautifully illustrated with the author's own work and that of other leading textile artists who draw inspiration from home life, this book revels in cloth and the joy that it brings to every textile artist. It is the ideal book for any artist or embroiderer who wants to explore new sources of inspiration on their very doorstep.

  Transcendentalism - The Greatest...

  Transcendentalism is a philosophical and literary movement that emerged in the early 19th century in America, primarily associated with thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. It developed as a reaction to the industrial revolution, the growing materialism of society, and the influence of traditional European intellectual thought. Transcendentalism posited that knowledge transcends the senses and that reality can be understood through intuition and spiritual insight rather than empirical observation alone. This belief is rooted in the idea that each individual has access to divine truths through personal experience and direct communion with nature. 
  At its core, Transcendentalism emphasizes the importance of the individual and the power of self-reliance. It encourages a connection to nature as a means of finding spiritual clarity and understanding. Nature, for the transcendentalists, was not simply a physical world to be studied but a living, divine entity that could guide personal growth and spiritual development. They argued that individuals should look within themselves and to nature for truth, rather than relying on societal conventions or religious institutions. 
  The roots of Transcendentalism are found in a variety of sources, including German idealism, Eastern philosophy, and the American Puritan tradition. However, it was through figures like Emerson, who published his seminal essay Nature in 1836, that the movement gained significant traction. Emerson’s ideas about self-reliance, individualism, and the divine presence in nature resonated with many Americans seeking an alternative to the rigid societal structures of the time.

  Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time. EXCERPTThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about ""mad Syd"". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. ""Such music I never dreamed of,"" as Rat said to Mole.
