The Cat Who Sang for the Birds by Lilian Jackson Braun
Early spring in Moose County, and things appear tranquil - Jim Qwilleran, newspaper columnist, has moved back into the remodelled apple barn with his two felines, Koko and Yum Yum. A suspicious fire, a break-in, a scandal and an uprising and suddenly life in Pickax is anything but peaceful.
This volume provides start-to-finish instructions for drawing birds that help readers to break down complex images into an assembly of easily rendered shapes. Advice is also provided on fine details such as anatomy, colour, markings, beaks, feet and feathers, and about the five elements of shading.
Painting on Porcelain: Traditional and Contemporary Designs

There are over 70 contemporary and traditional designs illustrated, with flowers, insects, birds and abstract designs being just some of the subjects used to decorate plates, teapots and eggs.
