    There are only a few books written on the subject and most of those focus on 'flat' needle felting on a surface. This book is about sculptural needle felting—creating 3-D animals and figures using the felting needle to sculpt wool.The book shows the techniques and describes how the felting needle works with wool fiber to create felt, while explaining the differences between this art form and other forms of felting. The reader will learn how to hold the needle, what sort of materials to use, and why.There are about 20 complete projects including various birds, bugs, four-legged animals, and people-each one unique and irresistible! Laurie also shows the reader ways to display their felted creations as mobiles, ornaments, or arranged in shadow boxes.

    Objects in harmonic motion have the ability to transfer some of their energy over large distances. Light Nature: This chapter covers the nature of light, polarization, and color.

    But their price is the sending of a human volunteer on a Quest that may well be a sacrifice - the seizure of the fabled, death-guarded black diamond called the Heart.And so it happens that mankind's most terrible enemy, the Demon of the Dark Ones, released from a ten-thousand-year bondage, is let loose to rampage and devour across the planet.So the saga sweeps on - a tidal wave of great battles, hot pursuits, of plots, passions and flights of fantasy.

    He was one of the few people in history to have won the Victoria Cross twice, setting new standards of personal heroism during World War II.

    Our Founding Fathers doodled, and so did Andrew Jackson. Benjamin Harrison accomplished almost nothing during his time in the White House, but he left behind some impressive doodles. During the twentieth century--as the federal bureaucracy grew and meetings got longer--the presidential doodle truly came into its own. Theodore Roosevelt doodled animals and children, while Dwight Eisenhower doodled weapons and self-portraits. FDR doodled gunboats, and JFK doodled sailboats. Ronald Reagan doodled cowboys and football players and lots of hearts for Nancy. The nation went wild for Herbert Hoover's doodles: A line of children's clothing was patterned on his geometric designs. The creators of Cabinet magazine have spent years scouring archives and libraries across America. They have unearthed hundreds of presidential doodles, and here they present the finest examples of the genre. Historian David Greenberg sets these images in context and explains what they reveal about the inner lives of our commanders in chief. Are Kennedy's dominoes merely squiggles, or do they reflect deeper anxieties about the Cold War? Why did LBJ and his cabinet spend so much time doodling caricatures of one another? Smart, revealing, and hilarious -- Presidential Doodles is the ideal gift for anyone interested in politics or history. And for anyone that doodles!

    He wishes he could say it was a job he got on merit, but in reality, his mother, the district attorney, called in a favor. Now he’s been assigned the story that could make or break his career. Robert Kilkenny doesn’t want anything complicated. He just wants to do the police work that he can, make life a little better for people in the small community that he has recently moved to and then he wants to go home to his art. After being a rising star in narcotics for years, his new coworkers eye him suspiciously. He’s the one that is stuck showing Elijah Epstein around. He’s the reporter that’s supposed to make the community outreach program with the police work. They both expect a quiet couple of months, where neither one of them will get much at all from the other. Elijah is supposed to be looking for a story that will bring the corruption of the police force into light, but instead, he’s spending all his time with Robert Kilkenny and having fun, which was the last thing he expected. The two men start to become friends when Kilkenny finds a neglected child in a trap house at the upscale neighborhood he helps to protect. Elijah is there and sees everything. The experience deeply affects Robert, who finds it incredibly triggering. It also affects Elijah, who has never seen anything like that before. That terrible event may be the catalyst that the two men need to take the step that they’re both yearning to take – toward each. But Robert is straight, and they both have a lot of baggage. Will they be strong enough to navigate the complicated world of criminals, trauma and grief?

Does not end with a "cliffhanger". Bonus Novel "Ray Ray and the Dirty Giants" From the dirty sludge gutters of Greenville, South Carolina comes the wild and rambunctious punk band, Ray Ray and the Dirty Giants! Their sound is a thrash punk that begs to be understood, each lyric screaming utter defiance against the white-collar system, an inspiration by the lead man's life living under white collar parents with backwards political views. Front and center is Ricky Charles, extraordinary on the guitar and talented with a pen. His drawings are a reflection of his true nature, hiding the emotions deep down that hardly ever surface...until he meets Nate Whitney. The humble bar owner happens to challenge Ricky's knowledge of himself, tossing him into a whirlwind of questions that threaten the fabric of his reality. Having grown up with a violently homophobic father, he is forced to consider the ramifications of kissing another man, knowing well that forgetting about it isn't the same as erasing it from reality. Nate makes Ricky incredibly happy, yet he battles the voice of his father in his brain telling him it's wrong. An inner war ensues where Ricky fights his emotions while also handling the forces outside of his body that are pushing in – the pressure of keeping his band together, the woes of financial burdens and the trouble of keeping up with a long-distance romance have been taking its toll. In addition, Nate is riddled with his own problems with his business and his ex-wife who still doesn't know about his current romantic status.
