{"title":"Ellen Warren","description":"Over the past 25 years, I've dedicated myself to my passion, arts and crafts. My love story with this field started in my early twenties, when I decided to renovate our home. After many years, we turning it from a rundown home into something we were extremely proud of. I fell in love with architecture, furniture, pottery, quilting, sewing and anything I could learn to decorate my home and improve my enjoyment of it. Since then, I've worked intensely on my craft, which is all about color, line, and pattern. I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina and enjoy spending time with my daughters and our grandchildren. I also love jewelry making, photography, playing the piano, as well as taking long walks in the fields close to my home. I strive to creatively translate the nature, architecture, and beauty around me into artwork for the home and for personal enjoyment. All these different hobbies are about putting your heart into it, and ultimately creating art with your hands. I hope the books I've written teach you and inspire you for a life time of learning and creating. All the best!!

As an amateur drawer, I've been blessed to have had an incredible teacher in Joana that has guided me in my practice, and I'm thrilled that you will allow us to help you learn this beautiful art. Art is an expression of progressive humanity. What most people forget is that they are, in fact, a work of art. You are a work of art - a walking, talking being of beauty, capable of making beauty. Drawing is a form of artistic expression that absolutely everyone can do. Once you get started, it is a lot of fun, and it can be a very lucrative hobby. Not only that, you can touch lives with a simple cartoon drawing of a bunny nurse with a thermometer on a get-well-soon card. Or you can create a heartwarming gift for your loved ones by sketching their face.True, some people are born with an innate artistic ability. Some can even paint murals at an early age. Before we get side tracked further, the point is, regardless of talent, just about anyone can do it because it is a skill that can be honed through practice. In this book, you will learn the fundamental building blocks to learn how to draw. We start with the \"Stickman\" as the fundamental and most basic way of drawing. After incorporating the lessons from that simple figure, we then dive into shapes, spaces, perspective and rudimentary anatomy guidelines for drawing the human being. We finish with lights, texture and how to make a sophisticated drawing by following the simple guidelines of the \"Rule of Thirds\" and the \"Golden Ratio\".Purchase your copy today!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51319845159135,"sku":"9781543269055","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/pC_5iO65cg9781543269055.webp?v=1788374367"},{"product_id":"beading-one-day-jewelry-mastery-create-amazing-beaded-earrings-necklaces-and-bracelets-in-under-1-day-15-step-by-step-beading-projects-that-inspir-paperback","title":"Beading: One Day Jewelry Mastery: Create Amazing Beaded Earrings, Necklaces and Bracelets in Under 1 Day! 15 Step by Step Beading Projects That Inspir - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover How to Make Beautiful Beaded Jewelry in Just One Day with This Easy to Use Guide 15 Step by Step Earring, Necklace and Bracelet Designs are with detailed images Included Welcome to the amazing world of Bead Making!

I'm thrilled that you will allow me to show you how to create several of my earring, bracelet and necklace designs. I'm sure this will help you in your creative process and further your skills in this art form.The pieces presented in this book were inspired by different things, places, people, and events. Sometimes it's the colors of a flower that I think work beautifully together, and other times it's the feeling of something that I'm trying to capture. The type of bead art and jewelry that I make fluctuates a lot depending on what else is going on in my life. After my first child was born, I began making bird's nest jewelry to express this part of my life. When we moved to a ranch, I began making funky art pendants in the shape of owls. An extended visit to my parent's home in Florida inspired me to begin using shells and sea glass in my art. Beaded jewelry is an art form like any other; your inspiration and ideas for color combinations or for unique pieces of your own can come from anywhere. Any of these projects can be used as a stepping off point for a variety of different projects of your creation. All you have to do is start changing the colors, sizes, and materials and see where it takes you. Beads and wire, wire and beads; there are so many different ways that you can combine these two things to form countless pieces of art. Not all of the bead and wire pieces that I make are jewelry, but a lot of it is. I like the idea of not only expressing myself through my art, but then turning it into something functional; a piece that I can wear out and show to the world, or a piece that someone else can wear.Beads come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. You can make your own beads out of clay, wood, shells, pieces, stone, or plastic (some of my favorite beads are made out of little plastic flowers that I drilled holes through). You can also find beads sold anywhere, with many of them reflecting the area they are from, such as stone beads near the mountains and shells near the beach. Making beaded jewelry is easy, fun, and maybe even addicting. Even the tiniest beads add up quickly to become big, full, colorful projects. Start making your own beaded jewelry today, and open up a world of color, creativity, and personal expression that you may not have even knew existed.
