  • Salty Birds Sticker Book

    Galison Salty Birds Sticker Book

    Book SynopsisSTICKER BOOK – Adults like stickers, too. We just (unfortunately) don’t have trapper keepers to put them on anymore. That’s why Brass Monkey made this–a book of stickers designed to be used. This book of Shady Birds is here to say what birds can’t– make shady comments and judge all the people, places, and inanimate objects around you. They’re perfect for bar tabs, tax bills, and, well, life. BOOK INCLUDES – Features a wide range of shady birds (sourced from vintage illustrations) with even judgier comments. Includes 18 pages of traditional over-sized stickers (and 2 bonus pages of vintage-inspired ‘puffy’ ones). Each page features as many stickers as we could physically cram onto it (sorry to be so technical). That’s 60+ over-sized stickers in case you’re counting. USE THEM EVERYWHERE – Put them on a calendar, your coworker's desk, or add a personal touch to parking ticket payments

    Book Synopsis'The book you hold in your hands is the distillate of a quarter century's teaching. It is my attempt to answer, "What next?" for students who are embarking on their "second act".' - Julia Cameron Julia Cameron has inspired millions with her bestseller on creativity, The Artist's Way.

Julia guides readers through a 12-week course aimed at defining and creating the life you want to have. This book includes simple tools that will guide and inspire you to make the most of this time in your life, and includes exercises such as: Memoir writing - an opportunity to reflect on and honour past experiences. Morning Pages - a tool to empty your mind and get focus and clarity for the day at hand. Artist Dates - fun days out to discover new passions and interests, and to enjoy something new and different.

    Book SynopsisWhy do we make things? Why do we choose the emotionally and physically demanding work of bringing new objects into the world with creativity and skill? Why does it matter that we make things well? What is the nature of work? And what is the nature of a good life?Whether you're honing your craft or turning your hand to a new skill, discover the true value in what it means to be a craftsman in a mass-produced world.Part memoir, part polemic, part philosophical reflection, this is a book about the process of creation. For woodworker Peter Korn, the challenging work of bringing something new and meaningful into the world through one's own efforts is exactly what generates authenticity, meaning, and fulfilment, for which many of us yearn. This is not a 'how-to' book in any sense, Korn wants to get at the 'why' of craft in particular, and the satisfaction of creative work in general, to understand its essential nature.How does the making of objects shape our identities? How do the products of creative work inform society? In short, what does the process of making things reveal to us about ourselves? Korn draws on four decades of hands-on experience to answer these questions eloquently in this heartfelt, personal and revealing book.'If you are in the building trade or just love creating things as a hobby, you will find this book fascinating' The Sun Trade ReviewIt’s a beautifully written account of one man’s journey, making beautiful items over his lifetime. -- Vanessa King * Psychologies *
