Masterful Color: Vibrant Colored Pencil Paintings Layer by Layer 12 reviews
Arlene Steinberg
North Light Books, 2008
No matter how many books you already have you need this one
Having a pretty large collection of drawing and colored pencil books I figured there wasn't much I would get out of this one. I was wrong. This book really took my colored pencil paintings to a new level. Like a lot of other colored pencil books, you really need to have drawing skills as this book won't teach you how to draw. What you will learn is how to make your colored pencil paintings ...

Snatch meets Dutch
This novel comes across like a Guy Ritchie movie crossed with an book by Elmore Leonard. Very enjoyable and engaging. I'll have to check out the British movie when it hits Canada.

Irrestible Indeed!
What a delightful reading experience! Sky High is well-written and a pleasure to read. Beautiful, full-page color photos accompany nearly every recipe, and the paper is sturdy and high-quality. The Baker's Notes throughout the book offer additional tips to ensure baking and frosting success.
The cakes are inventive and there were many new, delicious-sounding combinations that I am eager to ...

Photoshop CS3 Layers Bible6 reviews
Matt Doyle, Simon Meek
Wiley, 2007
Great for improving your knowledge of photoshop
What I really like about this book is that it doesn't assume you're either a novice or an advanced photoshop user. It explains clearly what the various features do and offers loads of practical examples to help you get the most out of them.
The first three parts of the book act as a comprehensive reference, but where this book really stands out from the crowd is in the fourth part - "Using ...

Adobe Photoshop Unmasked: The Art and Science of Selections, Layers, and Paths5 reviews
Nigel French
Adobe Press, 2006
Superb
I've used both online and printed tutorials for Photoshop in the past, but French's Photoshop Unmasked is easily the easiest to understand and, most important, most helpful. Practical advice on real-world solutions, offered in clear, hands-on lessons with files stored on his personal website. After years of hobbyist use for amateur photography and web design, I finally feel like I'm unlocking ...

Light Up Your Watercolors Layer by Layer5 reviews
Linda Moyer
North Light Books, 2003
Very Intensive Layering Techniques
I used this book as a resource. Her techniques are very different from the relaxed teachings of my earlier days. I am more able to see the effects layering will have on my final results. I am able to better see the end effect of layering several colors over one another in my mind since completing these lessons. Much of it is admiring the beautiful and observing "mini lessons" which really do ...

Another great Angelic Layer book
This is the third in the five-book series, Angelic Layer, and picks up immediate where the second book left off. The Angelic Layer tournament in Kanto continues, and the contests are getting harder and harder for young Misaki Suzuhara. But, fighting with skill and luck and a lot of heart, she is a fierce competitor. But now she is coming up against the top fighters, the ones talking about her ...

Layers: Inspired Collage for Paper Projects with Meaning7 reviews
Shari Carroll
North Light Books, 2006
A Treasure Trove
Shari Carroll's book is a unique approach to collaging her life experiences. Rather than putting them all on pages in a scrapbook, she has chosen many creative objects to present them. There are so many, but some of them are chipboard made into a chalkboard, old electrical outlets to make accordian picture frames, matchstick boxes to make a collapsing case(template included), wire screen to make ...

Big Block Quilts: Using Layer Cakes, Sweet 16s, etc!1 review
Moose on the Porch Quilts, 2008
A Great Design Resource
This book has hundreds of design possibilities, all shown in grayscale diagrams. There are photographs of some of them made up, but for most of them you'll have to do your own color choices and placement. These blocks could be made up into bed-sized quilts, starting with large squares as building blocks, or into blocks to go into a quilt, or as a single smaller block as a wallhanging or other ...

Christopher Lowell's Seven Layers of Design: Fearless, Fabulous Decorating 70 reviews
Christopher Lowell
Clarkson Potter, 2005
They'll think you're a professional
I memorized the 7 steps and have implemented them at every residence over the years. People tell me I should go into decorating. It is so easy to look good using Lowell's basic formula. It is a breeze; starting with paint, be bold and take chances. I have sold several homes which I staged myself using this book. I made a windfall.

Angelic Layer ROCKS! ^^
Okay, this anime by CLAMP is closer to Cardcaptor Sakura than to say, X1999. It's pretty light hearted and i would say this is one of my favorite manga series.... Angelic Layer is about an 12 year old girl named Misaki Suzuhara (AKA Misakichii by her friends! ^^) who, after watching a TV commercial of Angelic Layer, wants to play Angelic Layer! She loved seeing how the smaller angel was able to ...

I have found this book to be an extremely good reference over the years for a non-meteorologist; this coming from a biogeochemist - I have used it for years and am now buying it. Another very good reference is Stahl (of course)
