"If you can use a band or scroll saw, you can create professional-looking, three-dimensional pictures in wood. Intarsia--the art of cutting out, then fitting together thin, differently colored and textured wooden pieces--is a craft of precision and artistry that can be enjoyed on many levels. By offering lessons in the use of power saws and other tools, safety tips, finishing techniques, and wood selection, this comprehensive guide adapts the ancient art of intarsia to today's woodworker. For three beginning pieces--a simple flower, a rose, and a happy face clown--explicit instructions, along with tips for avoiding or dealing with common pitfalls, start you on your way. Once you've honed your skills you can apply them--and your enhanced understanding of woods--to create one-of-a-kind artworks based on any of the other 17 projects. Discover the creative possibilities of intarsia ... and add a new dimension to your woodworking."--Publisher description.

This step-by-step technique reference introduces and thoroughly explores several styles of knitting that involve color/yarn changes to create intricate patterns and designs. With Colorwork for Adventurous Knitters, you'll delve into exciting methods including striping, slipstitch, mosaic, stranded, and intarsia knitting and duplicate stitch and embroidery embellishment. While colorwork is commonly found in knitting projects, each colorwork knitting method requires skills that are difficult for someone to simply grasp on their own without careful guidance, which is just what this volume provides.
