Drawn from a rare French volume; this gallery of delicate multicolor stenciling in the Art Nouveau style features the use of pochoir; a unique method that was popular in Paris during the early part of the twentieth century. Distinctive for its clear; sharp lines; vibrant colors; and textured surfaces; pochoir stenciling was used in fashion journals; interiors; architecture; and industrial designmdash;and offers a host of applications in those areas today. Steeped in the flowing; graceful style of Art Nouveau; this remarkable array of colorful illustrations showcases panels; friezes; walls; and ceilings; embellished with such natural delights as wild roses and nasturtiums; pears and grapes; seagulls and geese; rabbits and roosters; and children playing in country settings. The high-quality; royalty-free art will prove to be an abundant source of inspiration for crafters; decorators; and graphic designers.

Since Ive never had a theatre class; I wasnt entirely familiar with what everyones responsibilites should be. This book answered those questions.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. For learning things the easy wayBy M. GerlachAs an owner of the book and a former student of the author; I cannot say enough about the knowledge contained in this book gleaned from years of Sandys work in the industry. In the theater world; it is easy to find someone who is in charge of a shop without ever setting out to be in such a position. This is a great manual of the things they dont teach you about leading a shop and organizing yourself to be an effective manager. (Well; they only teach you if you managed to have Sandy Strawn as a professor)2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
