For punch needle lovers who want to reach the next level of skill and enjoyment with their craft, Amy Oxford, the inventor of the craft's standard tool (the Oxford Punch Needle) and founder of the Oxford Rug Hooking School, provides instructions and artistic inspiration. In these pages, a combination of teaching, examples, and projects give makers a perfect mix for building their skills and for punching up their excitement.

- Teaches next-level skills with designs to punch as you learn, such as
--using novelty yarns with the Seashell Project,
--sculpting with the Sweater Letter,
--shading with Shaded Leaves,
--punching with fabric strips with the Flower Project, and
--two-color beading stitch with the Perfectly Paisley Project.

- Amy welcomes 26 guest instructors throughout who offer examples of their works that highlight the techniques, from shading with handpainted yarn to succeeding with narrative designs.

- For each technique and project, shows and explains variations (created by different punchers and in different colorways).

- Gorgeous image galleries of works in a wide range of styles show combinations of the book's techniques and include the artists' comments, tips, and insights.

- An unusual source of inspiration: photos of the capstone projects that were designed and punched by today's top punch needle artists, as the final step to qualify for their Oxford Teacher Certifications.

<p>Interior decorators have long used specific colors and palettes to evoke strong moods--the right mix of browns, greens, and oranges can easily bring you back into the 1970s. Here, in this highly original and digestible book, color palettes from the fifteenth century onward are analyzed and explained by interior design specialist Ros Byam Shaw. The colors used in each wallpaper and fabric are presented in proportional grids, giving a clear understanding of the hues that have become emblematic of their era.</p><p>Each wallpaper and fabric, carefully selected by Here Design from the V&A's collection, is arranged chronologically with its own double-page spread with extended captions that explain the significance of the palette. A color grid is shown beside each pattern, in which the colors in the original piece are shown in proportion to their use, and with their CMYK references to enable designers to replicate these colors in their own work. The result is a book that offers fascinating insights into color that will be of interest and use to designers working today, whether specialists in interiors, products, or graphics. It will also appeal to a more general audience as a beautifully designed book that offers inspiration to those interested in interior design.</p><br>A visual analysis of the colors used in furnishing fabrics and wallpapers from the fifteenth century to today, this book provides inspiration, and practical reference, for designers.<br><b>Ros Byam Shaw</b> is a freelance journalist who writes on design and interiors for The World of Interiors and House and Garden. She is the author of Farrow & Ball Living with Color (2010) and Farrow & Ball Decorating with Color (2013) along with numerous other books on historic houses and interiors.<br>"Spectrum: Heritage Patterns and Colors brims with over a hundred luscious photographs spanning seven centuries of fabric, wallpaper, and archival documents from the V&A Museum...This book is a rich resource."<br>
