"A long-overdue look at a newly popular art form, this book explores 79 North American and international artists' feelings about their work in encaustic and how they use it to express their inner worlds and the world around them."--Provided by publisher.

Many supernatural creatures are said to inhabit our world. Their magical, wonderland realm has been the subject of many books, movies, and our childhood dreams. In this richly illustrated book, 30 designers from around the world transform natural settings into enchanting displays that recreate that sense of wonder. Using artificial flowers, fabric, sticks, wire, crystals, berries, acorns, baskets, and polymer clay, these designers have been inspired to create their own "once upon a time" fairy home and garden for special events, storytelling, or just because they believe in fairies. In doing so, they tap into our inner child and help us to imagine a new world. This is a wonderful resource for designers and artists, as well as parents, teachers, or anyone looking to create their own magical place.

Nothing matches the serenity and beauty of waterfront living. This book offers an insider's tour of more than 60 waterfront homes. Featured are multimillion dollar castles, rustic cottages, cliffhangers, and all those homes in between.
