With a selection of over 400 jewellery artists' creations from all over the world, this inspirational volume is the most comprehensive compilation on this subject and an important step in Nicolás Estrada's exploration of current trends in contemporary jewellery. A must-have for any professional or student of jewellery or fashion design, this work shows the versatile and dynamic nature of brooches and the many and varied materials and forms that they involve. Needing only a pin to secure it to the wearer's garment, this ornament is essentially a jewellery artist's blank canvas that invites endless creativity and offers more freedom of expression than any other form of jewellery. The brooch has continued to evolve and be reinterpreted over time, and it is playing a critical role in the development of new jewellery as a platform for artistic expression. Following the success of Estrada's New Rings, New Earrings and New Necklaces, New Brooches represents a valuable contribution to this series. The book features 400+ jewellery designs from 175 jewelers from 25 countries.

This book is an excellent tool for learning to sketch on location. Through the "no drawing first" technique, readers will learn to use only watercolour and a brush to draw in notebooks, make quick urban sketches, keep visual journals and create compelling outdoor urban work. Designed like a workshop on the go, with more than fifty progressive exercises, this book invites you to experiment with watercolour by translating space and movement through shapes and color into masses and values rather than contours and strict rules of perspective. The author, a theatrical scenic painter, urban sketcher and urban sketching teacher, shows you how to represent the world around us. She encourages the reader to observe the place, to understand it, to learn how to choose the subject when capturing the place's soul, preserving the sense of the fleetingness of the instant described. The themes include vegetation, buildings and forms of people in movement.

Ideas are not born alone. They come from a process to a large extent organized and rational but sometimes unconscious and magical. In this book we can enjoy and learn from the creative processes of great graphic designers and creative voices around the world. Here we can find impulsive design versus more cerebral design; radical and avant-garde design alongside poetic, childish, commercial, intellectual, subversive and socially oriented design. 26 designers from 15 countries show us their workspaces, their personal notebooks and their creative processes. They teach us the keys to understand what is behind those magnificent works that inspire, thrill, impact or invite us to action. In this book the creative process itself is inspiration, a unique guide to creativity with storytelling and lessons on how to live your best creative life.

Cutting and sticking is really easy, anyone can do it and, with a few basic supplies, like paper, scissors and a bit of glue, you've got yourself a great kit to start working. Collage, conceived by Picasso and Braque at the beginning of the 20th century, and which the dadaists would incorporate later as an alternative, renegade response to traditional art, is a bit more than just cutting and sticking: it is experimentation, investigation, learning, and, a great deal of fun. If you inject some purpose or personal content into your clippings, you'll succeed in creating a language of your own which will allow you to express your worries or experiences visually. Collage will broaden our vision of the world, transforming and recycling images that already exist to create new ones with different meanings and new aesthetics, apart from the therapeutic, rewarding experience of the practice itself. This inventive activity art book, now in paperback, combines fun and focus, entertainment, and mindfulness. It includes a brief history of collage and practical tips and ideas to cut and paste, draw and paint, and sew and stitch using paper and everyday objects. Each double page proposes to look at things afresh, with suggestion and jumping off points to unleash the capacity for creativity and, ultimately, widen the horizons for expression. It includes 25 pages of cutouts. A whole world to discover!
