American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine: People who make quilts can find all kinds of helpful hints in this helpful magazine from the publishers of Better Homes & Gardens. American Patchwork and Quilting provides wonderful advice, from suggested patterns to actual instruction to inspiration.
An abundance of diagrammed instructions help paperfolders create25 fascinating creatures, with all models keyed according to difficulty—from the easiest (a duck and a swan) to more challenging projects (crocodile, ibis, parrot, kangaroo, hippopotamus, and even a horse with rider). Includes a helpful section on wet-folding, a technique that creates firmer, more permanent models than ones formed from regular origami paper.
This book consists of 75 utterly original and totally tantalizing brain teasers from master puzzler George J. Summers. He brings out fascinating challenges in situations as common as a game of tic-tac-toe or tennis, or as strange as a land of habitual Truthtellers and Liars. These puzzles and teasers are constructed with clues, helpful solution and detailed answers that show you step-by-step how a teaser or a puzzle is unravelled.

Shapes open a world of possibilities for creating jewelry. Begin with the basic flat shapes: triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon, then move on to using these shapes in three-dimensional shapes such as a pyramid, cube, tetrahedron and more and open shapes like donuts. Patterns are also provided for ethnic jewelry such as the Tuareg Pendant and for natural motifs like the Trillium Necklace. The shapes are created with peyote stitch and cylinder beads with a thread and needle.
