Book Description
Anyone wanting to learn Loom Beading can pick up this book, buy supplies with confidence, build a simple frame loom and complete a project. All aspects of beginning bead looming are covered and once the first small pattern is complete, it is a simple matter to enlarge on the mini-loom, or to move up to a commercial beading loom. The results can be left on the loom, turning the mini-frame loom into a miniature frame for the loomed picture. This framed picture can be trimmed (or not) and used as a suncatcher, other decorative ornament or to spruce up the car's rear view mirror. It can also be mounted on a base. The base may be embellished to create a mini sculpture. By constructing a slightly larger mini-frame loom, it is possible to remove the finished work from the loom. These loomed strips can be stitched onto garments or accessories such as barrettes or bags and pouches. Several projects are specifically designed for barrettes and/or strips. The patterns are beautiful, ranging broadly from Navajo rug designs, Kokopelli and geometric Indian designs to Orcas, Eagles, Wolves, fanciful Polar Bears, an Old Fashioned Sampler and Snowmen. They will charm bead workers of all skill levels. All the patterns can be used on larger looms or as part of a larger picture. There are step-by-step instructions and every pattern has a color code, bead count, and color photo. Plus, there is information on bead sizes, number of beads per hank or gram, and advice on how to compare prices. In addition there is a variety of beading graph paper for seed beads, 2-cut, and delica beads. This book answers every crafter's questions. 116 fun-filled pages. A book you won't want to miss!

My Heart is Africa
Author: Scott Griffin
Publisher: Dundurn.com
ISBN: 0887628265
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
In 1996, successful businessman and certified pilot, Scott Griffin, decided to break from the comfortable routine of his life to go work for the Flying Doctors Service, an African organization that flies doctors to remote areas to administer medical assistance. Griffin also made the daring decision to fly his small, single-engine Cessna 180 solo from Canada to Africa and back again. My Heart is Africa is the engaging, personal story of Griffin’s two-year aviation adventure throughout Africa. Facing storms, equipment problems, fuel shortages and isolation, Griffin successfully made his way to Kenya – little did he know, his harrowing flight over the Atlantic was only the beginning of his adventure. Once in Africa, Griffin circumnavigated the continent, flying over deserts, mountains and jungles both as a medical volunteer and tourist. Throughout his journey – which included being arrested and crashing, then re-crashing, his plane – Griffin discovered the heartrending humanity and beauty of Africa. My Heart is Africa is an absorbing adventure story, but it is also the story of Africa – its problems and people, its landscapes and limitations, its culture and courage. Griffin’s intrepid flying odyssey not only takes the reader on a journey across Africa but into the lives of all the doctors, nurses, aid workers and eccentric characters that crossed his path along the way. My Heart is Africa is a fascinating and gripping account of one man’s quest to push beyond his personal limits in order to explore and experience a new way of life.
