  A practical and inspirational guide to help embroiderers and textile artists make the most of sketchbooks to inform their creative work.
  The artist's sketchbook offers an exciting platform to explore a host of mixed media techniques. Using a combination of paper, textiles, found objects, pencil, ink and paint, Shelley Rhodes shows how a sketchbook can act as an illustrated diary, a visual catalogue of a journey or experience or as a starting point for more developed work. 
  Whether out on location or in the studio, Rhodes explores every stage of the creative process, from initial inspiration to overcoming the fear of a blank page, manipulating paper and images and incorporating 'found' objects to build a sketchbook that is both beautiful and inspiring. Sketchbook Explorations is the ideal companion for everyone from the beginner to the more experienced artist looking for exciting techniques to expand their repertoire in mixed media.
  The book explores:
  
  - Why work in sketchbooks? The importance and joy of working in a sketchbook.
  - Ways of recording and investigating ideas that inspire.
  - Techniques in mixed media from found objects and layers to three-dimensional sketching.
  - Creating on location.
  - Using electronic devices to develop ideas.

  Every hymn begins its life as a poem—and we can give our favorite hymns fresh life by returning to their poetic roots. This anthology of several centuries' worth of great hymns invites us to experience these works as devotional poetry—to slow down and savor their well-turned phrases and evocative language. English professor Leland Ryken provides some historical background for each hymn, but his focus is on literary analysis. Combined with relevant Scripture texts, the result is a wonderfully devotional and poetic study of the Christian faith.

  From “the voice that drew a generation of teenage boys to their radios,” a memoir detailing the veteran radio DJ’s career and celebrity relationships (New York Times). 
   
  Carol Miller is indisputably America’s premiere female rock ’n’ roll disc jockey, as her well-deserved induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame proves. 
   
  In her illuminating, fascinating, sometimes heartbreaking memoir, Up All Night, the legendary “Nightbird” tells the story of her colorful career—her rise to success in a male-dominated music industry; her close and personal dealings with rock royalty like Bruce Springsteen (whose music she first introduced to New York radio), Sir Paul McCartney, and Steven Tyler (whom she dated)—and details openly and honestly her battle against breast cancer for the very first time. 
   
  “Radio legend Carol Miller . . . the sultry-voiced and still-fabulous airwaves icon . . . is a beloved veteran of . . . classic rock.” —New York Post  
   
  “Entertaining . . . fiercely honest.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  “[Miller’s] enthusiasm for rock ’n’ roll vividly colors her life. . . . Of interest to aspiring or working DJs.” —Kirkus Reviews
