Warwick Goble (1862-1943) fu un artista vittoriano specializzato nell'illustrazione di libri per bambini e creatore di molti lavori su temi…
giapponesi e indiani. L’artista nacque il 22 novembre 1862 a nord di Londra e, una volta completati gli studi scolastici, studiò alla Westminster School of Art. All'inizio della sua carriera Warwick lavorò per diverse riviste mensili, ma è dal 1896 che ebbe inizio la sua carriera da illustratore di libri. La sua fama come artista arrivò quando, nel 1898, si dedicò alla creazione delle illustrazioni del romanzo di H. G. Wells “La guerra dei mondi”. Durante la sua carriera l'artista illustrò molti libri, diversi tra loro, come ad esempio fiabe giapponesi, fiabe del Bengala, “l’Isola del tesoro” ed altri. Oltre alla sua carriera come illustratore egli si offrì volontario per la Croce Rossa in Francia durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Dopo questa esperienza, iniziò ad occuparsi sempre meno di illustrazioni, dedicando il suo tempo ad attività come camminare, andare in bicicletta e viaggiare. L'artista morì nella sua casa nel Surrey nel 1943. *** Questo libro creativo è dedicato alle illustrazioni di Warwick Goble. Nel libro troverai sia immagini a colori, che immagini in bianco e nero, con all’interno campioni di colori. Se lo desideri, puoi fare uno screenshot da un'immagine in bianco e nero per colorarla con un computer o stamparla su una stampante e dipingere su carta. Durante la colorazione puoi scegliere se seguire il campione di colore, oppure colorare secondo il tuo gusto personale. Il libro creativo non ha limiti di età. Gli autori vi augurano successo creativo e un piacevole passatempo! Questo libro può essere utilizzato come libro da colorare come antistress o per l’arte terapia.

Classic and innovative hands-on projects for kids ages 3 and up designed to teach both heritage skills and how to…
think creatively.Handcraft is part of human nature: we build, we create, we innovate. The 20+ projects in this book from an experienced art educator weave a story of human innovation and creativity, from the very beginnings of building shelters in the woods to tinkering with recycled materials. Heritage skills teach children how to be independent and capable makers; fiber and wood projects offer rewarding crafts that also teach planning, preparation, and safe risk taking; and tinkering activities connect the low-tech process of making and doing with innovation. From soap carving and knot tying to building toy cars and junk robots, this book brings the fun of making things with your hands to young kids and links skills of the past with the present. The book also explores how to set up a maker space and teaches foundational workshop practices that can easily be applied to the home studio. Each project offers extensions for different ages and abilities and provides guiding questions to enrich the experience for both the maker (teacher/parent) and the apprentice (child) to encourage and celebrate creative, practical play.

Wear just 33 items for 3 months and get back all the JOY you were missing while you were worrying…
what to wear. In Project 333 , minimalist expert and author of Soulful Simplicity Courtney Carver takes a new approach to living simply—starting with your wardrobe. Project 333 promises that not only can you survive with just 33 items in your closet for 3 months, but you'll thrive just like the thousands of woman who have taken on the challenge and never looked back. Let the de-cluttering begin! Ever ask yourself how many of the items in your closet you actually wear? In search of a way to pare down on her expensive shopping habit, consistent lack of satisfaction with her purchases, and ever-growing closet, Carver created Project 333. In this book, she guides readers through their closets item-by-item, sifting through all the emotional baggage associated with those oh-so strappy high-heel sandals that cost a fortune but destroy your feet every time you walk more than a few steps to that extensive collection of never-worn little black dresses, to locate the items that actually look and feel like you . As Carver reveals in this book, once we finally release ourselves from the cyclical nature of consumerism and focus less on our shoes and more on our self-care, we not only look great we feel great— and we can see a clear path to make other important changes in our lives that reach far beyond our closets. With tips, solutions, and a closet-full of inspiration, this life-changing minimalist manual shows readers that we are so much more than what we wear, and that who we are and what we have is so much more than enough

schemes.&” —Historical Miniatures Gaming Society Since its introduction in 1981, at the height of the Cold War, the Abrams main battle tank has been one of the most visible symbols of American military power, and it is the fascinating subject of this heavily illustrated historical and modeling guide in the TankCraft series by David Grummitt. Designed to meet head-on the massed tank forces of the Warsaw Pact, its combat debut actually came in a different scenario in 1991, during the First Gulf War. Since then it has served in a peacekeeping role in the former Yugoslavia and seen combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen. It has gone through a series of modifications and modernizations that see it set to remain the backbone of the US Army until at least 2050. As well as charting the development and combat history of the vehicle, this book is illustrated throughout with color photos and specially commissioned color profiles. Five different models, covering the service history of the Abrams, are featured, as is a modeler&’s guide to the existing kits and accessories in the all the popular scales.

the most versatile fighting vehicles in the British army and many other forces for a quarter of a century, the Universal Carrier—more popularly known by its original title of Bren Gun Carrier—was developed as a fast and agile infantry-support vehicle. In this volume of Pen & Sword&’s LandCraft series, Robert Jackson traces its design and manufacturing history and describes its operational role throughout its long career. The Bren Carrier served in every theater of the Second World War, from northwest Europe, North Africa and the Soviet Union to the Far East. Then, with the war over, it was operated by many belligerents in a string of other conflicts around the world, including Israel&’s struggle for independence and the war in Korea. A selection of archive photographs showing the Bren Carrier in action gives a graphic impression of how adaptable it was and records the variety of equipment it could carry. The book is an excellent source for the modeler, providing details of available kits together with specially commissioned color profiles which illustrate how the Bren Carriers used by different units and armies appeared.

The latest entry in Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger&’s popular Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery series, featuring fifteen talented authors…
and a multitude of new cases for Arthur Conan Doyle&’s most acclaimed detective.Sherlock Holmes has not only captivated readers for more than a century and a quarter, he has fascinated writers as well. Almost immediately, the detective&’s genius, mastery, and heroism became the standard by which other creators measured their creations, and the friendship between Holmes and Dr. Watson served as a brilliant model for those who followed Doyle. Not only did the Holmes tales influence the mystery genre but also tales of science-fiction, adventure, and the supernatural. It is little wonder, then, that when the renowned Sherlockians Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger invited their writer-friends and colleagues to be inspired by the Holmes canon, a cornucopia of stories sprang forth, with more than sixty of the greatest modern writers participating in four acclaimed anthologies. Now, King and Klinger have invited another fifteen masters to become In League with Sherlock Holmes. The contributors to the pair&’s next volume, due out in December 2020, include award-winning authors of horror, thrillers, mysteries, westerns, and science-fiction, all bound together in admiration and affection for the original stories. Past tales have spanned the Victorian era, World War I, World War II, the post-war era, and contemporary America and England. They have featured familiar figures from literature and history, children, master sleuths, official police, unassuming amateurs, unlikely protagonists, even ghosts and robots. Some were new tales about Holmes and Watson; others were about people from Holmes&’s world or admirers of Holmes and his methods. The resulting stories are funny, haunting, thrilling, and surprising. All are unforgettable. The new collection promises more of the same!
