Here is the ultimate inspirational book for all craft enthusiasts. Packed with 200 unique and attractive projects to make, it features a wide range of craft skills - traditional picture framing, decorative tin and wirework, jewellery-making, beadwork, decoupage, gilding, modelling claywork, crafting 3-dimensional glass objects, painted glass, mosaics, decorating tiles and all kinds of creative techniques for painting and embellishing fabric. There are projects for complete beginners, as well as those with some craft experience, and each is graded for level of skill and ability. The projects featured include large-scale items such as fabric-painted quilts, decorative picture frames, mosaic tables and chairs, and schemes for decorative splashbacks. Smaller-scale items include beaded earrings, colourful plant pots, delicately painted champagne flutes, and elaborate wire candlesticks. Every style is catered for - for more traditional tastes there are classic candlesticks and toast racks to make out of wire, patchwork cushions, and quality wooden picture frames. For the ultimate in contemporary accessories there are stunning mosaic pots, sophtisticated fabric drapes with which to decorate the home, and strikingly original jewellery. The carefully selected projects embrace many styles of decoration too, from colourful folk art and pretty country-style treatments to vibrant modern designs. With its easy-to-follow instructions and clear technical guidance, and over 1750 colour step-by-step colour photographs, this book is a wonderful treasure-trove of ideas and a must for craftspeople everywhere.… (more)
