Secrets of a Devon Wood

Author: Jo Brown
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781780724379
Category : Forest ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Walking one day in the woods behind her cottage in Devon, nature illustrator and blogger Jo Brown became captivated by the sight of a Green Dock Beetle on a leaf and took a photograph of it in order to be able to draw it. That first tiny emerald bug was followed by more insects, and then birds, fungi, plants and flowers. The result is Secrets of a Devon Wood, a rich illustrated memory of her discoveries in the order in which she encountered them, so that the book flows smoothly with the seasons and the emergence of different wildlife. In enchanting, minute detail she zooms in on a bog beacon mushroom, a buff-tailed bumblebee, or a native bluebell. And she notes facts about their physiology and life history: "The flowers are narrow & darker than H. hispanica & H.x. mossartiana," she writes. "Drooping stem. Almost all flowers are on one side. Sweet scent." This journal is a treat for the senses, both a hymn to the intricate beauty of the natural world and a quiet call to arms for all of us to acknowledge and preserve it. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finally put it down

Category : Wild flowers
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Margaret Erskine Wilson, late President of Kendal Natural History Society, was a keen amateur botanist and water-colourist. In 1999, she donated to the Society 150 sheets of water-colour paintings representing a thousand British and Irish plants in flower and in fruit, painted in situ over many years and in various places. At the time she donated the paintings to Kendal Natural History Society, she wrote: Begun in 1943/4 for a friend who said, 'I might learn the names of flowers if you drew them for me, in the months they're in flower'! The result is this beautiful, previously unpublished book of all her accurate and informative illustrations, painted over a period of 45 years. Over a thousand British and Irish flowers are represented in this book and it still today serves Margaret Erskine Wilson's original purpose -- it is an easy way to learn the names of our delicate and beautiful wild flowers.

The Flower Year is a flower coloring book celebrating of a year of of flowers, birds, butterflies and small creatures to color in, adding up to a year's worth of coloring enjoyment. The Flower Year is a hardcover book, with intricate illustrations by Leila Duly, a textile print designer. Duly's work is inspired by old Victorian etchings, unique vintage finds and the English countryside. Leila's first book was Floribunda: A Flower Coloring Book, published by Laurence King in 2016 followed by Floribunda, A Flower Coloring Journal and a calendar. "Beautiful, silken ivory pages in these smaller sized, hardback books. Laurence King Publishing produce top quality journals and this Journal, and Book, are right up there. As you'll see from the video, the Journal has a few blank pages between the drawings. The Flower Year has interesting quotes on the title page for each month and at the back is a pictorial index to the images that lists the plants in each drawing. You'll be referring to this a lot as you research your flowers and leaves. Pencils will be fine but make sure you test any water based pens on an inconspicuous page. The covers continue the soft pink covers that we associate with Leila." Prue, Colour + Blog "This is a very beautiful book filled from cover to cover with detailed images of delicate flowers. Every page is different, it never feels like you're coloring the same picture twice because there is so much variety. There are single page drawings, pages with a collection of single flowers along with their names and larger pictures that cover a double page. I particularly liked the index pages at the back of the book which gives you the names of all of the plants used in the pictures. I would definitely recommend, it's my new favorite." Amazon reviewer

Book Description
Financially rewarding, spiritually fulfilling and absorbing: that is how Jim Timings describes his 20 years as a bone carver. What is more, he is convinced that anyone with the right motivation can succeed as a full-time craft worker. That is why, after producing around 15,000 carvings, he decided it was time to share what he has learnt. Bone Carving: A New Zealand Guide to the Tools, Techniques and Marketing is the result. This clear and simple handbook demystifies the unique New Zealand art form of bone carving for the beginner. It covers the history of bone carving in New Zealand; what tools you need; where to get the bone; the process of carving from start to finish, from pendants to earrings. A number of basic classic designs are included as starting points, but the emphasis throughout is on each aspiring carving developing his or her own style. The last part of the book deals extensively with all aspects of marketing the finished product: pricing, advertising, customer relations, the pros and cons of the various potential sales outlets. This well-illustrated, user-friendly little book is essential for anyone who has ever admired bone carving and felt the urge to give it a go. Start today!
