Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, an unemployed artist named Dan Robbins had no intention of creating an American icon, but that's exactly what happened when he convinced a savvy but sceptical entrepreneur named Max Klein to manufacture and market the first painting-by-numbers kits in 1949. Here is the light-hearted historical account of the business and cultural phenomenon that touched the lives of more baby boomers than Barbie and G I Joe.

Book Synopsis Real Art! by : Douglas Brenner
Download or read book Real Art! written by Douglas Brenner. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes you can! Give the gift of art. Give the gift of creativity. Give the gift of fun. Because now we can all paint with the best of them. Drawn from the annals of America's fondly remembered pastimes, Real Art! is an all-new, cleverly designed paint by number kit and the coolest gift of the season. Open the box and discover everything an artist needs to create a gallery of paintings suitable for framing--ten white "canvas" boards, 18 oversized pots of acrylic paint, and two brushes, one narrow and one medium. The images, newly created by artist Nancy Stahl, are iconic: a still life of luscious pears. A clipper ship in full sail. Tropical parrots in a study of exuberant hue. The geisha. The bustling street scene. And two bona fide masterpieces: van Gogh's Sunflowers and, yes, the Mona Lisa. Plus, pulling the full experience together is a 64-page full-color book of history, appreciation, and instruction. Illustrated throughout, it traces the canon of PBN subjects and artists, including the original brouhaha over its place in the culture; and provides a how-to-paint primer--including how to improvise, from choosing a varied color palette to leaving parts of the canvas blank, à la Warhol; plus tips on displaying your work and, ultimately, becoming a PBN collector.

Book Synopsis Kitschy Crafts by : Jo Packham
Download or read book Kitschy Crafts written by Jo Packham. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's fun, it's retro?and it's back in style. Take a fond look back at the kitschy crafts of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, from crocheted doilies to shell-art nightlights. All these nostalgic creations appear in appropriately fashioned period settings that will captivate browsers, and come with instructions for those who just can't resist creating their own string-art pictures, pink flamingo items, far-out tie dyes, kooky candles, macrame; plant hangers, and the one-time must-have on every coffee table: a resin-cast grape cluster. And, of course, who can live without the hottest toy of all? The Sock Monkey Doll. Everyone will have a blast poring over these?even those who have never made a craft in their lives"--Publisher's description.
