Blueprint for Localism - Different Kind of Greenhouse
The idea for this book was more than just an unforeseen wake-up call to wasted energy, it was a merger of how resources such as water, soil and a massive transportation network are taken for granted. Many rural areas lack access to grocery stores, which in turn requires in some cases traveling long distances to get food. With a greenhouse, one has control over what goes into the soil along with what goes on the plants during the growth cycle. This leaves plenty of room for improvement. At this moment I realized that here has got to be a better way.

Crafting with Cookie Molds
It's a match! Cookie molds and polymer clay are perfect crafting companions!So says Anne L. Watson, whose earlier books helped spark a cookie molds revival. As Anne has discovered, cookie dough and polymer clay have a lot in common, and a mold made for one will work brilliantly with the other. The mold does the main work of shaping the clay, making you look like an expert every time! And many cookie molds are "bakeable," so that figures come out of the mold perfectly formed and already hardened.Besides that, contemporary cookie molds come in shapes, patterns, and themes that will appeal to polymer clay and mixed media crafters as well as cookie bakers. So, while bakers will find a new use for their molds, crafters will discover countless new designs to grace their projects."Crafting with Cookie Molds" includes everything you need to get started: basic tips and techniques, plus over thirty of Anne's own decorative projects, from beginning to advanced, illustrated with over 170 photos. You'll find Christmas tree ornaments, boxes, baskets, shelf standers, wreaths, gingerbread houses, and more. And if you want to use the very same cookie molds as Anne, they're identified by maker, with notes on where to find them.Welcome to the exciting new world of polymer clay and cookie molds!/////////////////////////////////////////////////Anne L. Watson is the author of "Baking with Cookie Molds" and "Cookie Molds Around the Year," which helped launch the modern revival of interest in cookie molds. She has also written popular books on soapmaking and housekeeping, as well as many novels and children's books. In a previous career, she was a historic preservation architecture consultant. Anne lives with her husband and photographer, Aaron Shepard, in Bellingham, Washington./////////////////////////////////////////////////"Charming . . .

And if you're like me, you don't know what to say. It's a compliment, but it can also feel frustrating.If all your work and skill gives you cookies that can't be eaten, what are you supposed to do with them? Make decorations? Hang them on the wall? Display them on a shelf?Well, yes, that's exactly what you can do -- if you make molded "cookies" out of polymer clay."Cookies" like that can decorate a holiday tree or a wreath. They can adorn a box, a basket, a canister, a candlestick, or any number of other gifts, prized possessions, or common household items. They can even stand on their own, as when made into a planter box or a gingerbread house.Of course, not everyone reading this book has ever made a molded cookie. Maybe instead you're experienced in mixed media or polymer clay, and you're looking for new directions for your craft. Or maybe, as a beginner, you love that a cookie mold could do the hardest part of shaping clay, leaving you to reap the rewards!Whichever side you're coming from -- cookie molds or crafts -- this book will get you off to a good start combining them.

A flat sketch is a 2-dimensional visual of how the garment looks from an overhead perspective when it is flat on a table. Flat sketches are more accurate in the design proportions, helping the designer envision the style and plan the sewing process.Except for the few extra blank pages to add to your library, this is not a sketchbook where you draw your designs inside the book.There are two methods of using this book: 1) As a template for tracing;2) As a reference to see how to draw the designs.If you are a beginner, the tracing method is beneficial until you understand the proportions. Use this book in conjunction with tracing paper or thin marker paper for this method. Place the tracing or marker paper on the style details and silhouettes to draw your designs. As you become more advanced, you will likely move onto the second method of simply referencing the sketches as needed and draw without tracing.This is the curvy version of the book, which is suitable for women's US sizes 12 and up (EU sizes 42 and up). There is a standard version of the book, which is called The Fashion Design Book, and that is suitable for women's US sizes 0-10 (EU sizes 30-40). Search for The Fashion Design Book if you prefer that option. Both books have the same content, just different sizes. In both books, there is a full-length video showing you how to customize your croquis to your size.Many styles show examples of how to draw design details. Get creative with what is here. Mix and match as you like. Your designs will start to flow once you begin.
