The Techniques of Rug Weaving
Learn from a Master How to Create the Most Beautiful Rugs'With inventiveness and a trained scientific mind, this great weaver has designed his way out of the slow, traditional methods . . . Through research and discovery he has broadened the whole range of rug techniques. It is the sharing of these discoveries that makes this book so important . . . . Mr Collingwood writes-and illustrates-with the same grace, with the same brilliant organization with which he designs and weaves." Jack Lenor LarsenPeter Collingwood continues to exert an outsized influence in the art of weaving beautifully intricate and textured rugs; a master weaver, he created complex patterns and textures which gave his rugs an unmatched richness and depth. This classic guide shares Collingwood's knowledge, experience, and innovative methods.The Techniques of Rug Weaving begins by discussing various yarns, the selection and assembly of equipment, and the use of specialized tools and techniques. This guide showcases his abiding interest in the structure and texture of rugs, and he describes in detail the vast variety of techniques, some not widely known outside of professional circles, which can be employed to broaden a weaver's repertoire and skill set. These are explored in chapters on plain-woven wetface rugs, blockweaves, pick-up weaves, warp and weft twining, warpface rugs, and all types of rug finish. In addition to well over 500 diagrams, the guide contains more than 150 illustrative photographs in black-and-white and color. In his preface, Collingwood plainly states that this book is written from the point of view of a professional rug weaver, but he goes on to say that he sees no reason why hobby weavers should not benefit from and aspire to the beauty and quality created by those who weave rugs for a living. This book, clearly written and thorough in every aspect of the craft, embodies Collingwood's philosophy and will help weavers of any experience improve their skills and develop their craft.This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1648373321).

Welcome to the world of whittling The art of whittling is an ancient craft that, for centuries, has captivated the imagination and inspired the creativity of artisans. It entails the skill of using a small knife to carve patterns or forms into wood. Whittling is not just a means of self-expression but also a relaxing and gratifying pastime that enables people to unwind, get in touch with nature, and craft something beautiful by hand. This section will discuss the long history of whittling, its relevance in the modern world, and how you might start whittling for yourself. Whittling has its origins in prehistoric times, when our ancestors shaped wood using sharp rocks and bones for various uses. Whittling played a significant role in human civilization, from making tools and utensils to produce intricate designs and figurines. The equipment and methods used in whittling also developed along with civilization. The invention of metal tools like knives and chisels gave woodcarvers new opportunities to produce intricate, detailed pieces.

Grand Battles Napoleon
"The Napoleonic wars began in the ashes of revolution, regicide and the new French Republic and ended with the exile of an Emperor." Grand Battles Napoleon is a strategic wargame where you, as the General, are responsible for a Napoleonic Corps. The smallest tactical units are regiments of infantry, regiments of cavalry and artillery batteries. Players move these units in formations, called divisions, across the games table using a unique initiative system. A turn is not You-Go-I-Go. Instead, players activate divisions based on a modified D6 roll. The winner acts or forces his opponent to act. This continues round by round until all divisions on both sides have had a chance to act. Games are incredibly fluid with each player 'always in the game each turn', acting or reacting, in or out of turn, to the opponent's troops or rolling for initiative to activate more troops. Games can be played in any scale from 6mm through to 28mm and charts are available for each scale. Books will be available through all good game's shops globally. We have a very active and well supported Facebook page with loads of free downloads. You can also find free downloads at the website as well.. Or our email address is info@siegeworksstudios.com.au Our staff is always happy to answer games questions, list building, how to run tournaments and campaigns using our rules and any other questions about our games, playtest groups and future releases. Happy Gaming Drew Birkmyre
Glamoury
Glamoury is a system of beauty based upon the four elements. In Glamoury, the letters in your name correspond to a number. The pattern of sound these numbers make is your frequency. When you match your personal frequency to the colors, shapes, and textures of your element, the most beautiful things about you show. The way Glamoury works is similar to how an opera singer can shatter a glass by singing a note equal to the frequency of the glass. By wearing your element's colors and styles, you are matching its frequency to you. This raises your vibration to a higher level, allowing the beauty within you to radiate outward.A Note From The AuthorMy inspiration to create Glamoury started two decades ago. It came from a vision during a ten-day meditation. I saw Glamoury as a cosmic stream that emanated from a goddess on the blue star of Sirius. This stream then reached earth by nine Glamours whom each spoke a piece of her celestial wisdom. I realized these Glamours had been known throughout time by different names. In Egypt, they were the Ennead. In India, they were called the Navadurgas, and in ancient Greece, the Muses. By any name, the Glamours are agents of change who bring about transformation by revealing the beauty within.
