Several recipes are included that can be made by the beginner, and several that require more experience. Even so, the statement by another reviewer that a reader should be prepared to spend some money on practice ingredients is a good one. Tempering the chocolate is absolutely key to making good artisan chocolates, and reading a book cannot substitute for ...             Mixed Emulsions: Altered Art Techniques for Photographic Imagery19 reviews Angela Cartwright Quarry Books, 2007 Interesting, original, beautiful, well-explained, necessary Though I am able to make a lot of different crafts as I've been a teacher in France during several years, and author of one book released in 1999 in French, I precise, I always had problems with using photos in my crafted items, as I often had very bad surprises. That's why I bought this book, to learn, to know more about working on and around photos. I also like to find something different and ...             101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog60 reviews Kyra Sundance, Chalcy Quarry Books, 2007 very helpful I've trained several different breeds of dogs and find this book applicable to all of them.

This book is great for people who want to start their own art journal. It gave me a lot of great ideas and inspiration.

Ludwig Quarry Books, 2008 Sharpen your art-journaling tools and get crackin' Maybe it's because my copy is from the second printing, but I didn't find the glaring editing mistakes another reviewer was appalled to find. I noticed a typo or two but that was the extent. True Vision packs a hefty punch. It will appeal to a mixed audience. There are basic and innovative prompts (on every other page) geared to those just discovering the world of art journaling, or making a ...             The Complete Guide to Altered Imagery : Mixed-Media Techniques for Collage, Altered Books, Artist Journals, ...31 reviews Karen Michel Quarry Books, 2005 I like it!

But I really like it, it's very artistic.             1,000 Artist Journal Pages: Personal Pages and Inspirations (1000 Series)14 reviews Dawn DeVries Sokol Quarry Books, 2008 How does one evaluate a person's soul? How does a reviewer "Rate" or "Review" another artists' ART? This was a difficult task for me, because as my 1st sentence stated, it's quite difficult to rate an Artists' personal Art. Basically, it's like trying to evaluate a person's inner soul! This book is so well photographed & so detailed and colorful! Dawn DeVries Sokol has done a beautiful job at displaying all the entries that ...             The Backyard Blacksmith: Traditional Techniques for the Modern Smith (Backyard)14 reviews Lorelei Sims Quarry Books, 2006 An Enlightening book Although I am very familiar with working with Metal, and many other forms of crafting, I knew little of Blacksmithing. I have always been interested in Blacksmiths since I was a child, but knew nothing of their background, history, and the tricks of the trade so to say that they used to form beautiful and more importantly, useful items that they created. I recently had the opportunity to work ...             One-Piece Wearables: 25 Chic Garments and Accessories to Sew from Single Pattern Pieces (Domestic Arts for ...1 review Sheila Brennan Quarry Books, 2008 The Elizabeth Zimmerman of Sewing Great book of chic and easy projects that actually look great!

These projects are quick and easy and work well alone or with embellishments. Bottomline, this book is a base for creating an entire wardrobe, down to a purse! The ...             Art Making, Collections, and Obsessions: An Intimate Exploration of the Mixed-Media Work and Collections of ...27 reviews Lynne Perrella Quarry Books, 2008 Loved It! I have always loved the work of Lynne Perrella, but she has outshone even herself by compiling this book of artists from the same ilk as herself. Being a compulsive collecter and an artist myself, this book was irrestible and to see what other artists collect is both engaging and delicious at the same time! Congratulations to Lynne Perrella for this wonderful book. I have already researched ...             Intertwined: The Art of Handspun Yarn, Modern Patterns and Creative Spinning (Handspun Revolution)22 reviews Lexi Boeger Quarry Books, 2008 Yarn as Art I am relatively new to spinning, so my handspun is never perfect and even, but it is fun and I like it. This book gives the opportunity to think of yarn itself as a freestanding piece of art. It is exciting to see the colors and interaction of fibers in making a ball of yarn. Perhaps it is possible to think of yarn for yarn's sake. Actually the section on what to make with the yarn is ...             Modern Mark Making: From Classical Calligraphy to Hip Hand-Lettering6 reviews Lisa Engelbrecht Quarry Books, 2008 Not your typical calligraphy book Calligraphers buy lots of books. Most of us own a copy of Johnston's Writing and Illuminating and Lettering. We look wistfully in our bank accounts and decide we can't really justify the facsimile edition of the St. John's Bible, a unique calligraphic wonder of our time. I have over two shelves just with calligraphy books. Some of them are straightforward how-to manuals (a boon for people who ...             Whole Health for Happy Cats: A Guide to Keeping Your Cat Naturally Healthy, Happy, and Well-Fed (Quarry Book)20 reviews Sandy Arora Quarry Books, 2006 From another cat lover - leeomahoney Whole Health for Happy Cats has become my cat bible.

My three cats are benefiting greatly from the info on nutrition and gentle holistic means for treating illness and disease. I'm also ...             Creative Cloth Doll Faces: Using Paints, Pastels, Fibers, Beading, Collage, and Sculpting Techniques22 reviews Patti Medaris Culea Quarry Books, 2004 Fun and easy! That's what this book is good at. Easy to follow directions, great patterns, that can be changed to fit - your doll. But most of all, a easy way to get that face looking, like a face. Not a blob of colors, where the eyes are not in the right place, or are too big on one side, and smaller on the other. This book also has great tips for those who are more experianced. The face intimadates most ...             The Backyard Vintner: An Enthusiast's Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Wine at Home (Backyard)4 reviews Jim Law Quarry Books, 2005 great book Very comprehensive and thorough.
