Cloth Paper Scissors

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crafts and Hobbies
from: Interweave Press


Cloth Paper Scissors is a beautiful full color magazine that can inspire and excite an individual to create their own works of art. The magazine is published six times per year, and covers a wide range of doable projects for mixed media enthusiasts.

The January/February 2008 issue included projects with scrap wood and paint, the joys of blogging, how to paint an art apron, and painting a gouache resist gelatin print.

The samples are professional and artistic, and a stong goal to strive for in your art work. Enjoyable to look at and read!

Watercolor

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crafts and Hobbies
from: Interweave Press


This magazine is inspiring to the beginner and a challenge to the experienced watercolorist. I never tire of seeing the great work of the artists highlighted in this magazine.

The issues often have workshop-like articles on using computer graphics software, how to handle color, composition or other technical aspects. And then there is just the eye candy, purely for artistic pleasure. While your own painting may not reach the heights of these wonderful artists, the act of looking at paintings, of studying technique and seeing alternative ways of expressing subjects is a solid way to improve one's own art. I prefer "Watercolor" to other art magazines because it focuses on my own medium fully and really goes into depth.

Crafts N Things

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crafts and Hobbies
from: Amos Craft Publishing


Amos Publishing recently purchased Rubber Stamper Magazine, and includes an expanded section of rubber stamping in their existing Crafts `N Things Magazine. Despite the wonderful rubber stamping pages included within February's issue, if you are looking specifically for rubber stamping techniques and ideas, Crafts `N Things is not best place to look. While the cover claims that there are over seventy five rubber stamping ideas within the magazine, the other half of the magazine covers knitting, crocheting, and other crafts.

The magazine is beautiful with fun projects, but the projects covered are too diverse. Even though Rubber Stampers are crafters, they are not always crocheters or knitters. I found only half of the magazine ... Read More:

Glass Line

from: Glass Line


I have been reading this publication for some time now and as a member of the glass community I have found this to be the most informative source in the industry. With articals about not only glassworkers from every field, but how and what they make, this periodical is unserpassed in instructional and informative pictures and discriptions on a wide range of subjects. For the beginner to the expert in the glass industry, I would recommend this newsletter.

Cardmaker

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crafts and Hobbies
from: Drg Publishing


This magazine is all about card making; with fun ideas, samples and suggestions.

The July 2008 issue boasts "103 hot projects for summer card making!" The cover also announces an article about "Cards gone Wild!", Ink Essentials, Celebrate Summer!", and Postcards that rule. Feature articles in the July issue also included: "Card Calendars", "Stars and Stripes Forever", "Summertime Fun" and "Christmas in July." The articles and samples with were charming and fun. The work is lighthearted and despite the abundance of exclamation marks, the magazine doesn't go over the top on the topics covered.

My favorite ongoing column is "Readers Reach Out". In each issue a recipient is picked to receive cards, and readers are encouraged ... Read More:

I have found American Patchwork and Quilting to be among the best in quilting magazines. I love every issue. The articles are informative and the patterns are simply wonderful. Not every issue will please every reader, but this one comes close.

Burda Plus

from: Verlag Aenne Burda


This is great 'magazine'. I put it in quotes because it is really a collection of the newest styles coming out so if you have the time to sew the patterns you are with the 'in-crowd'
