Homesick DIY
Homesick er en bog fyldt med kreative ideer til hyggelige DIY-projekter, der kan hjælpe dig med at gøre din indretning helt personlig. DIY er supertrendy lige nu. Er man vild med at lave sine egne projekter – som fx at opgradere sine gamle møbler og forvandle kedelige hverdagsting til nye favoritter – eller går man måske bare med drømmen om at kaste sig ud i at lave sit eget møbel uden helt at vide, hvordan man skal gribe det an, så er der masser af inspiration at hente i denne bog. Fælles for bogens projekter er, at de alle illustrerer, hvordan man på en simpel og budgetvenlig måde kan kreere sine egne ting og bruge dem til at sætte et personligt præg på sin indretning. Man kan følge opskrifterne til punkt og prikke eller blot bruge dem som inspiration til sine egne ideer. Og bare rolig! Man skal hverken være kunstmaler, have en tømreruddannelse eller kunne sy for at gå i gang. Det eneste, det kræver, er de mest basale værktøjer og teknikker– så kan man slippe sin indre handy(wo)man løs og begive sig ud i bogens projekter.

Pattern Design
Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell - pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us. Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art Deco.

Rackham's Fairy Tale Illustrations
One of the most renowned and best-loved illustrators of his day, English artist Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) brought countless stories and fairy tales to life though his vivid imagination and eye for telling details. Combining a sensitive use of line and subdued watercolors, he skillfully depicted forests of startling trees with claw-like roots, wholesome fairy maidens, monsters, and demons, and backgrounds filled with obscure figures. His inspired illustrations for the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm (1900) brought him his first great success, with a long and distinguished career to follow. This collection of 55 full-color plates, reproduced from rare early editions, contains a rich selection of Rackham's best fairy tale images: a giant terrorizing the inhabitants of an isolated village in English Fairy Tales, a wicked witch greeting two lost children on her doorstep in Hansel and Gretel, a young maiden beset by snarling wolves in Irish Fairy Tales, and many more, including illustrations from Snowdrop and Other Tales, Little Brother and Little Sister, and The Allies' Fairy Book.

Information on many of his descendants (12 generations) who live in Pennsylvania and elsewhere is given in this material collected from many sources by Ira Gibbel.
