Surface TreatmentWorkshopExplore 45 Mixed-Media Techniques

DARLENE OLIVIA MCELROY & SANDRA DURAN WILSON

Surface textures: A topic that is finding large favor

with the mixed-media crowd.

Traditional techniques as well as new applications

that have not been explored in other books such as

the use of WonderUnder, pulled paper and plaster-

dipped gauze are explored.

By showcasing two artists with very different styles,

the reader is shown that numerous options and

approaches to the same technique are possible.

Similar to the authors’ first best-selling book, Image Transfer Workshop ,

which gave readers more than they could ever want when it came to

ideas for making image transfers, Surface Treatment Workshop provides

the reader with an equally impressive amount of techniques and ideas for

mixed-media surface treatments. In addition to over 45 stepped-out tech-

niques, projects that combine the techniques into finished works of art

are shown. Examples from both artists show how the same techniques can

be used to yield very different results, and variations and troubleshooting

will guide readers into endless applications for their own artwork.

The Elemental JournalComposing Artful Expressionsfrom Items Cast Aside

TAMMY KUSHNIR

Focuses on a favorite project of the mixed-media

enthusiast: the journal. However, while most art journaling books focus exclusively on the journaling

process, this book has a larger focus on creating the

journals themselves.

Features 15 stepped-out journal projects made from

unusual materials and found objects, from electron-

ics packaging to tree bark to antique doorknobs.

Inspiring work from 9 contributing artists makes

for great design features and photography.

The Elemental Journal is a new take on using found objects in mixed-

media art, marrying journaling with cast-aside items in five different sub-

strates: wood, paper, metal, plastic and fabric. Inside, readers will discover

a myriad of new ways to craft a very popular mixed-media project: the

art journal. Author Tammy Kushnir guides readers through the process

of gathering found objects from their attics and garages—and even the

trash—and crafting them into personal and meaningful works of art.

Quilts inspired by traditional and authentic Japanese designs are

more popular than ever and this book features 10 quilts eachmade in two different colorways.

The focus is on making the most of the great range of pre-cut

Japanese fabric packs.

Features the latest innovations- such as the Babylock Sashiko

machine which recreates the precise running stitch of this tradi-

tional hand technique.

A practical guide to combining Japanese fabrics and traditional

Oriental style with fast, super-easy techniques. Each of the ten

quilts is made up in two different colorways for maximum in-

spiration, and shown both as hand and machine quilted designs.

As an added bonus, there are five simple-to-make home-style projects for using up leftover quilt

blocks. Japanese patchwork style is incredibly versatile, and the finished projects will work well in

both the most modern interiors as well as rustic cottages.

SUSAN BRISCOE was introduced to Japanese quilting techniques in the early 1990s when teaching English in north-

ern Japan. She is the author of The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook and Japanese Sashiko Inspirations.

Inspiritu Jewelry is a book full of inspiration and techniques for

creating rich and romantic-looking jewelry with a new dimen-

sion—that of using adornment to enrich the spirit and offer a

sense of well-being. This book guides the reader through 25 jewelry “prescriptions.” In addition

to each project showing the reader a variety of jewelry-making techniques, each piece suggests a

particular benefit to the wearer—from learning patience to gaining protection on a journey and

from offering forgiveness to remembering a loved one. Readers are also encouraged to create jew-

elry pieces of their own for whatever purpose they desire.

MARIE FRENCH began making healing and spiritual art when her daughter was born prematurely and each piece she

made was a sort of prayer. Her exhibit “Prayers for Peace” was given a favorablereview by the New York Times. Marie has

been published in Somerset Studio, Belle Armoire, Haute Handbags, and Altered Couture. She now sells work through Etsy.

Steampunk EmporiumCreating Fantastical Jewelry, Devicesand Oddments from Assorted Cogs,Gears and Curios

JEMA “EMILLY LADYBIRD” HEWITT

The steampunk genre is quickly gaining in popular-ity, but there is little published for the market

The author is truly an authority on the steampunk

topic and delivers a book that holds strongly to

the theme.

This book is highly visual and entertaining, with

plenty of photos and design elements to attract

both steampunk enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

The steampunk genre takes Victorian charm and steam-powered machin-

ery parts and combines that with modern day elements and technology.

Jema “Emilly Ladybird” Hewitt guides readers through several begin-

ning-level jewelry techniques as well as some basic work with polymer

clay, resin, shrink plastic and other mixed-media techniques. She then

explains 20 projects divided between five themed chapters, each its own

fantastical story. Projects range from decadent jewelry, medals of great

distinction, wine charms for imbibers, and many devices of note, all fea-

turing authentic steampunk style and whimsy.

Unique combination: Other wire jewelry books focus on hard wire, while beading books often incorporate soft wire. This is

the first book to bring them together.

Includes all of the classic wire-working methods jewelers love:

wire wrapping, twisting, coiling, crochet, jigs, and chain maille

Though the focus of the techniques for this book is on wire,

there are still plenty of beads.

Readers will create 30 stepped-out projects that explore the pos-

sibilities for using wire as a dimensional design feature as well

as a structural one through combinations of both hard and soft

wire. In addition to basic wire-working techniques, the reader isgiven a thorough introduction to the various types of wire used

throughout the book. Projects are organized into five chapters. Two chapters focus on hard-wire

projects, two on soft wire, and a final chapter combines the two wire types. Troubleshooting tips

are sprinkled throughout the book and three variations per chapter provide additional inspiration.

MARGOT POTTER has published six jewelry-making books with North Light Books. She’s a designer, author, freelance

writer, consultant, public speaker, actor and vocalist, video host and TV personality. Margot also creates innovative

Backyard Projects forToday’s HomesteadMaximize Your Outdoor Living SpaceThrough Creative Woodworking

Includes information on choosing durable materi-

als, working with reclaimed lumber and applying

finishes appropriate for outdoor wear

All the projects are functional, not just decorative—

ment. By putting a small amount of money (and some time) into spruc-

ing-up a backyard, homeowners can create a veritable oasis with the proj-

ects in this book. Not only can these projects improve quality of life, but

building them can also be a great financial decision.

The New TraditionalWoodworkerFrom Tool Set to Skill Set to Mind Set

JIM TOLPIN

Traditional (hand tool) woodworking is the fastest

growing part of the woodworking community.

Most instructional books are dated and don’t re-

flect new concepts and tools

An under-discussed topic that will benefit from Jim

Tolpin’s authoritative name

Hand working wood to make furniture is a very different experience from

machining wood to make it. Making furniture the old fashioned way isn’t

as fast or efficient as making it with machines —but that isn’t the point

when woodworking is seen as an avocation and the woodworker be-comes fully immersed and engaged in the wood. In The New Traditional

Woodworker , Tolpin addresses all aspects of woodworking with hand tools

from setting up the shop, to explaining how the tools work, to joinery.

He finishes with instructions on building workshop accessories to use

with hand tools. Also included are other sample projects and information

on finishing them.
