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.Ver livro
Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of glorious photos taken along the way. Praise for Kaffe Fassett: Dreaming in Color: “Kaffe Fassett is to color what Julia Child was to French cooking.” —Knitters ReviewVer livro

The history of India is filled with tales of powerful warrior empires that shaped the destiny of the subcontinent. Among them, the Hoysala Empire, the Rashtrakuta Empire, and the Kakatiya Dynasty stood as formidable forces in the Deccan region, each leaving behind a unique legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural patronage. The Rashtrakutas, known for their military might, expanded their rule across vast territories, engaging in wars with the Pratiharas and Palas while fostering art and architecture, as seen in the magnificent Kailasanatha temple at Ellora. The Hoysalas, emerging later, were fierce warriors and master builders, commissioning iconic temples such as those at Belur and Halebidu while defending their kingdom against rival invasions. The Kakatiya Dynasty, renowned for its defensive strategies, constructed impressive fortifications like the Warangal Fort and resisted repeated invasions, including those from the Delhi Sultanate. These warrior empires not only fought to expand and defend their territories but also enriched Indian culture, trade, and architecture, leaving an enduring impact on the history of the Deccan.Ver livro
