Printing by Hand: A Modern Guide to Printing with Handmade Stamps, Stencils, and Silk Screens

It’s the natural inconsistencies—the accidental differences between one finished piece and another—that make hand-printed fabrics, papers, furniture, and works of art so interesting. The quirks are what show the maker’s intimate involvement in the process, and it’s that unique quality that first attracted textile designer and illustrator Lena Corwin to hand-printing.

Even though decorative prints are more in vogue than ever, there was until now no up-to-date hand-printing guide—no single source explaining the tools and materials that are used today, or reflecting a contemporary aesthetic. Corwin has given us that guide.

Using step-by-step instructions and up-close photos, Corwin teaches crafters everything they need to know to master stamping, stenciling, and screen printing, from making their own printing devices to trouble-shooting when plans go awry. Her inimitable collection of projects ranges from stamped stationery and simple-to-sew pouches, to stenciled tote bags and furniture, to screen-printed bed linens and upholstery fabric. There’s even a silk-screened dog bed. The author has created original artwork for each project (full-size patterns are included in an envelope at the back of the book), so that every crafter can achieve the same beautiful results. Or maybe not quite the same. Remember: It’s the subtle differences that make hand-printing so special and alluring.

Mark Cutler brings his unique design sense to bear on a glamorous Hollywood mansion previously owned by silent film star Pola Negri. Compleately renovating the home from top to bottom, Cutler incorporated traditional elements, but gave the house a fresh, cotemporary look. The new streamlined kitchen and bathrooms are contrasted with modern decorative pieces, done in a simple color palette that highlights the dramatic backdrop. This home was featured in Metropolitan Home as Home of the Month.

If you go to hospital or some clinic, you will see plain interior design. But If you go to “Skin” you will meet new world of costmetic surgery. Skin is a new cosmetic surgery in Florence, Italy. The interior, designed by Michael Young and Katrin Olina. It’s a conversion of an old building, is in the historic Borgo San Jacopo district in central Florence. I am very impress about design and wish you love it too.

Young and Olina previously collaborated on the Dr James Plastic Surgery in Taipei, Taiwan.

Some of the walls are made in Corian with CNC technology.

Young designed the interior and Olina created the artwork and decorative surfaces, which make extensive use of Corian.
