Download or read book The New Chinoiserie Coloring Book written by K P Singh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-10 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Chinoiserie Coloring Book is a love letter to wallpapers, textiles, and ceramic art of the 18th century. Highly detailed illustrations are drawn with extra fine lines to help you produce finished art that is ready to frame. You'll find this collection of thirty stylized motifs presented in two ways: conventional black-outline coloring pages, and a new style of light-outline coloring pages. This new style gives colorists room to develop their own level of detail as the printed line recedes into the background. Whichever style of print you prefer, the additional copy of each design can be used to reduce bleed-through or for experimenting with techniques. While some people might consider this collection appropriate for advanced colorers-the fine lines are easily drawn over-and will still look great with a looser, more abstract approach to coloring. Included in your purchase is a link to download five of the illustrations as free printable greeting cards. ______________ K.P. Singh is an illustrator and fine artist. Her contemporary homage to chinoiserie is expressed through her bespoke hand-painted wallpapers and textile designs. She incorporates flora and fauna from her home in Southern California into this lovingly crafted, new chinoiserie collection. This is her first coloring book. ______________ Subjects include: birds, trees, lemons, chrysanthemums, peonies, tulips, tulipieres, vases, urns and ginger jars, tea cups, tropical foliage, butterflies and moths, tigers, snakes, a little porcelain doggy, portrait and landscape style compositions, repeating patterns, and symmetrical patterns. Take advantage of the unique, hand-drawn art and extra copies of each image by applying the designs to your embroidery, cross stitch, or watercolor projects. To do so, apply graphite or transfer paper to the back of the image and use a pen or stylus to press the design through. For tips on how to transfer these designs to watercolor paper and tutorials on painting techniques, check out the link provided in the book.

Download or read book Stormdancer written by Jay Kristoff and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in an epic new fantasy series, introducing an unforgettable new heroine and a stunningly original dystopian steampunk world with a flavor of feudal Japan. A DYING LAND The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever. AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST The hunters of Shima's imperial court are charged by their Shogun to capture a thunder tiger – a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of failing the Shogun is death. A HIDDEN GIFT Yukiko is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered, would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shogun's hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima's last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is he'd rather see her dead than help her. But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have never resented Ivan's good looks. But there are times, once I became of age to date girls and women, that I wish I could look more like him than myself. Women are not often quick to date a monster. I was okay with that. Until now. Until Winter. She changed everything..."Ivan Petrov is a ruthless Russian businessman who is only six degrees off mob boss. He doesn't give a rat's ass about anything other than getting what he wants. And he wants Winter Rose, the prodigy opera singer, and is willing to torment her sexually until she begs for it. He could care less that Yury, his disfigured and most trusted guard has fallen for her.Winter's Beast is one part sugar and sweet, two parts sex and sweat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People everywhere have attempted to change their bodies in an effort to meet their cultural standards of beauty, as well as their religious and/or social obligations.

It is clear that adorning and modifying the body is a central human practice. Over 200 entries address the major adornments and modifications, their historical and cross-cultural locations, and the major cultural groups and places in which body modification has been central to social and cultural practices.
