Crochet joins forces with the hot craft of beading in this stylish collection of original projects. By combining fiber, beads, and other attractive materials, today’s crafter can make truly spectacular, professional-looking jewelry: an Art Nouveau necklace and earring ensemble of iridescent seed beads with the look of Tiffany glass; strands of earth-toned beads with matching chunky tubular crochet bracelet; a trio of layered necklaces and pendant of faux jade to cast a mysterious Asian spell; and more than 20 other stunning ensembles.
When it comes to merging innovative technology with a bizarre murder mystery, few writers do it better than Child. In Utopia (2002), supercomputers ran roller coasters in a high-tech theme park. Here, a state-of-the-art computer dating system, run by Eden, Incorporated--a Microsoft-size corporation--takes center stage. For a mere $25,000, a single person can find a life partner using Eden's flawless matching system. And it's guaranteed, though not one customer has ever requested a refund. When the match is 100 percent, the lucky pair is dubbed a "supercouple," and the subsequent marriage is the envy of all the world.
Tasty Bible Stories: A Menu of Tales & Matching Recipes
Grade 2-6--This tempting book gives readers more than just food for thought. Hip retellings of the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Sarah, and other figures are each accompanied by two or three recipes, for example, "Barley & Onions" for the story of Ruth and "Persian Kebab" for the story of Esther. The language is modern and approachable, as when Deborah says, "I call the shots," and Moses tells his people, "Listen up, we ve got important work to do." Color illustrations, many of them full page, are animated and boldly rendered, and the recipes are surrounded by pictures of tasty-looking ingredients. A recipe index and table of metric conversions are included.
