Russian Textiles showcases the gorgeous printed-cotton textiles created and manufactured in Russia and exported to Central Asia from approximately 1860 to 1960. More than 175 spectacular patterns spanning a variety of periods and styles, from Art Nouveau florals to Soviet-era agitprop, are featured. The people in these Central Asian countries—including Uzbeks, Tadjiks, and Turkmen—incorporated the brightly patterned material into their clothing, particularly their robes, and in their household items.
Brief essays by the author and fellow textile experts describe the “social life” of the fabrics and the fascinating history of this merging of Russian, Western, and Central Asian aesthetic styles; Robert Kushner contributes a lively text on how an artist “sees” and is inspired by these designs. Complementing the pattern images are vintage photographs from the turn of the 20th century as well as beautifully detailed reproductions of the robes and other articles that were lined and embellished with these cloths.
This is a must-have book for the inspiration library of every artist; professional fashion, interior, and product designer; crafter; and anyone with a love of extraordinary visual design.

“Seldom does a new textile book invite one to view its subject matter in an entirely new light, from an entirely new perspective. Russian Textiles does just this. These cloths, with their boldly printed designs, are generally considered to be of little importance, and have been viewed with little contextual foundation. Russian Textiles: Printed Cloth for the Bazaars of Central Asia, changes this landscape and presents a collage of information and startling visuals. It fills a niche in our knowledge and appreciation of the dynamics of the textile trade in Central Asia, a niche that most of us were hardly aware was empty and needed to be addressed. Such is the groundbreaking nature of this book.” - - Thomas Cole, HALI Magazine, Spring 2008
“Meller’s book is a voyage of discovery…a joyous celebration of pattern and colour, and of a way of life in Central Asia” - - Brigid Keenan STEPPE Magazine, Summer 2008
“The intriguing title with its mingling of the commonplace and the exotic, neatly sums up the esoteric collecting field that fascinates Meller and sets her apart from the typical high-end textile hunter who is searching for silken ikats or woven carpets. According to Meller’s view, machine-printed textiles qualify as ‘fine art that happens to be for a commercial product.’” – Andrea DiNoto, American Craft Magazine, Oct/Nov 2008
“Russian Textiles is one of those rare and serendipitous books that can be judged by its cover. From first bold photo to final footnote, the bright, complex language of Russian trade cottons is given full voice in Susan Meller’s new book.” - - HAND/EYE, The Aid to Artisans Magazine, Summer 2008
“This is a beautiful book to be cherished for its look as well as its content.” - - Frances Pritchard, SELVEDGE Magazine, September 2008

Wow. Explosion of froth and mouthwash in one little tablet.
Flavor Name: 2-Bottle Green Tea
I love these for travel, and put some in a tiny container in my purse, too. You just have to spit it out - no rinse necessary. I might try a different flavor than the green tea. Don't love it, but do love the product.

Really good book, easy and clear!
Format: Kindle
Oh, we've all heard of manifestation. Frankly, as an older guy and a retired Marine, I kinda cringe when I hear the word. "Something sissies would say," I'd think. Not that I'm a garage guy or anything. I just believe in faith and hard work! But, I decided to explore this book and was quite humored that manifestation is pretty much a compendium of concepts familiar to me since all I know are founded on The Bible and The Marine Officer's Guidebook. Wink. But seriously, I do believe in Universal Laws that Apply Universally, and manifestation, as portrayed in this book, is pretty much about that. The author does reference principles found in Christianity and Hinduism, for instance. But also physics and psychology. Practices such as visualization, gratitude and love (law of vibration, love that). So good. I'm going to get this book for my kids, since I can't get them to read the Bible, perhaps they'll read this! Seriously, it's a great complement to God's principles and not nearly so hard to mine. ; )

Informative and Effective!
Format: Kindle
I’ve practiced the art of manifestation a few times, and it’s something I want to use more in my day-to-day life, so this book was the perfect introduction and deep dive into what it truly is. This is a comprehensive and helpful guide to manifestation—an amazing first step to improving your life and building one of prosperity, happiness, and whatever you desire. Manifestation can seem intimidating, but this book simplifies the act of it and the methods needed to turn your desires into reality. In this book, you'll find all of the steps and advice needed to change your life through manifestation, but it is us, the readers, who now need to use these steps and methods to change and better our lives. I highly enjoyed and recommend this read to anyone, honestly, as manifestation is something I think we can all use in our lives!

Practical Roadmap to Your Dreams
Format: Kindle
Ingrid Clarke has written a thorough and well-sequenced book to open up our minds to this transformational process.
This is a step-by-step guide, via the seven pillars, to bringing dreams into reality - a popular topic. It’s a reminder that we often miss out on certain of these steps and fall short of achieving our dreams - sometimes blaming the methodology rather than ourselves for the shortfall!
I liked that processes were shown to help maintain a high vibration, to better put the steps into practice, and that ‘there is a powerful energy already inherent in you.’
With the first three pillars in place, the intention, visualization, and affirmation work flowed well, with examples to guide the reader. The puzzle pieces were brought together so that an overall view of the method could be clearly seen. I would recommend the book.

Great Read
Format: Kindle
In Ingrid Clarke’s book, she gives beginners 107 techniques to use to harness their power of manifestation. She provides a deeper understanding of what manifestation is and how you can utilize it in your life easily. Clarke says that you can align your beliefs with your dreams and create the change you want to see in your life. Two of my favorite techniques for this mentioned in the book are affirmations and visualization. These are what I plan to utilize to manifest prosperity and success in my life. I love how Clarke gives you the step-by-step of how to go from wanting something in your life to getting it through manifestation. My other favorite part of this book was how I learned to have a deeper connection with myself.
