With just a few basic tools and simple step by steps, you'll be on your way to making your own adorable felted creations.\nIn this beautifully designed book, discover the relaxing craft of needle felting and learn how to make delightful creations to use and wear. Following the basic method, many of the patterns can be resized and with the addition of techniques such as darning, patching and stitching, the home crafter can adapt each design to make their very own creations.\nIncluding clear step-by-step photos and concise instructions, the patterns are easy to follow, even for complete beginners. No previous needle felting experience is needed. All projects are designed to appeal to a broad base of crafters who will enjoy the added mixed media interest and the opportunity to take a basic pattern and develop it to suit their own needs.\nThe projects range from the quick and easy, such as small Easter Egg Dangles, to the more complex, such as a Winter Gingerbread Village. Wearable designs include an Autumn Fox Bangle and a Midsummer Rose Corsage. This new and innovative approach to needle felting widens the creative possibilities beyond the core twenty patterns so the maker can choose to flex their creative wings and discover new approaches to the craft.

People are becoming more aware of the environment and their impact on it. Over the past decades we have become an increasingly consumerist based society. From a world in which recycling was common, single use became the norm. This throwaway society is unsustainable.\nSustainable gardening results in the creation of an environmentally friendly area in which natural predators thrive and soils are naturally replenished.\nDiscover innovative and simple ways of recycling everything from water to materials in the garden. Practical examples show recycling in action turning unwanted items into useful features such as bottle edging, footpaths made from tires, garden forks into table lamps, broken pottery to mosaics and tree roots into lush garden stumperies.\nRecycling, reusing and upcycling in the garden can make a difference helping you save money by using less water, making your own compost, choosing energy efficient equipment and by giving everyday items a totally new function.\nInstead of a throwaway society, we are increasingly looking at ways of reducing our use of increasingly scarce resources, turning plastic into paths, using solar energy and conserving water. Natural recycling of plant material and sustainable gardening is increasingly popular. This book helps search for creative ideas that can conserve resources, and save you money.\nWater is no longer cheap, so the book suggests many ways that you can reuse water and get free rainwater.\nThe book helps you with places you may not think of looking for free and cheap material, such as reclamation yards, factories, restaurants and hospitals.\nLet your imagination run free without needing much skill and without breaking the bank.

Back in 1994 at the game company 'CORE Design' in Derby, Lara Croft was born. Through eighteen months of pure hard work from the team, Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and became the success that we see today; taking part in the mid-nineties celebrations of Brit-Pop and Girl Power.This is the story of the team who were involved in creating the first two games, then leaving the series to a new team in 1998.Lara Croft brought class, comedy, and a James Bondian role to the game, dreamt up by Toby Gard and helped to become a pitch with Paul Douglas.&nbsp;The game was a gamble, but because everyone at the company believed in it, it led to huge success for everyone, except for Toby and Paul.The Making of Tomb Raider goes into detail of how Lara and the games were born, alongside why Toby Gard and Paul Douglas left before the sequel was released.Throughout eleven chapters of countless interviews, this book will tell you who was responsible for creating the first two games; from its levels, its music, the many voices of Lara Croft, and much more.&nbsp;The team also reveals all about the star of the second game; Winston the Butler, and how he came to be by Joss Charmet.Over twenty people were interviewed for this story; from the pitch for what would be Tomb Raider, alongside the challenges along the way, up until the release of Tomb Raider 2 in 1997.
