I would like to share with you a new acquisition for my crafty library that has been a real surprise. Big time: "Print Workshop: Hand-printing Techniques and Truly Original Projects" by Christine Schmidt.
A book on hand printing projects. From carving your own stamps, to transfer color pictures to tees. All with very good texts, nice design and, in my opinion very very elegant projects.

M'agradaria compartir la nova adquisició a la meva llibreria crafty, que ha estat una autèntica sorpresa. "Print Workshop: Hand-printing Techniques and Truly Original Projects" de Christine Schmidt. Un llibre sobre projectes d'estampació manuals. Des del carvat dels teus propis segells, a transferir imatges a color a samarretes. Tot amb bons textos, un grafisme deliciós i, sota el meu punt de vista, projectes molt molt elegants.
Here's a quote I think it's worth to share.

Tot seguit una cita (que no traduiré) que em sembla que val la pena.
Craft is the skill and technique used to create an object: the "how" something is made by hand with a specific medium. Design and art both use craft. Art and design are not separated by apperance but by aim. Design conveys information. Art conveys emotion. Design's goal is functionality: to serve a purpose such as informing or performing a task. It is all about utility. Art is its own function: art's goal is to encourage contemplation.You can find out more of Christine Schmidt's work at the Yellow Owl Workshop.
