Most pet owners keep at least two different types of animals - dogs and cats are the most common pairings - and a surprisingly large number keep even more animals. Domestic birds, pet rabbits, mice and other rodents, ferrets, snakes, turtles - some people may even raise a goat or pot-bellied pig or two. On top of this, most lovers of domestic pets are also enthusiastic supporters of wildlife. Feeding birds and squirrels all winter long or creating shelters for butterflies, toads and even bats. This book provides nearly two dozen ingenious and fun do-it-yourself projects for anyone who loves animals of all types, from lowly bugs to aristocratic pure-bred show pets. This is a perfect book for parents or grandparents introducing children to the wonders of raising pets and observing wildlife.

Published by:
Scala
Clarice Cliff is one of the most important and well-known Art Deco ceramic designers in Britain and abroad. Her brightly hand-painted tablewares decorated with stylised landscapes, flowers and a whole range of abstract patterns skilfully applied to art deco shapes took the rather traditional and reserved British pottery market by storm during the late twenties and early thirties. Her Bizarre wares, the name given to her first range, were in such demand that new tea and coffee ware shapes were created for the table alongside vases, face masks and many amusing fancies. This book looks at how Clarice Cliff became so successful through great determination, her intuitive sense of colour and shape and an understanding of what sort of pottery the younger generation wanted in their new homes. This was coupled with her great ability to interpret the latest contemporary patterns and shapes from Europe and adapt the style for the more reserved ...
