Creative play is a game – spring

A completely revised and expanded edition of the entire Tvoření je hra series, featuring 57 brand-new projects.
Inside, you will find projects using textiles, paper, natural materials, polystyrene, beads, decorative doughs, and more. It is the perfect opportunity to try out various new or less traditional materials. The step-by-step guides vary in difficulty, but require no special prior knowledge as they cover everything you need to get started.
The entire collection is divided by season. In this first volume, as well as the following ones, you can choose from a variety of projects to inspire your own crafting. Think of the instructions in this book as a starting point. Feel free to modify the projects as you wish, or let them inspire you to create something entirely different using a different material or technique. There are no rules – crafting is all about exploring uncharted paths, trying unfamiliar materials, and finding new ways to shape your ideas. That is where the immense joy of creating lies.
Spring symbols new beginnings, awakening nature, and fresh colours. After a long winter, we all look forward to the first warm rays of sun and blooming gardens. This volume focuses on cheerful spring and Easter decorations, working with natural materials, textiles, paper, and other mediums in fresh colours to bring new energy and joy into your home.
You will work with textiles, paper, natural materials, beads, decorative dough, concrete, casting compounds, recycled materials, and other mediums that are easily accessible and budget-friendly.
About the author:
Alena Isabella Grimmichová has been crafting since early childhood. She learnt the basics of textiles, sewing, and embroidery from her grandmothers. Her work grew out of a fascination with colour and pattern, leading her to focus primarily on fabric and textiles. Today, she mainly explores diverse textile techniques, combining different methods and merging new and old fabric processing traditions. This passion has shaped her own creations and inspired several books on fabric techniques from Japan and Africa. From 1992 to 2005, she ran her own Gallery N°9 in Prague's Malá Strana. Since 1993, she has exhibited her work in the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Austria, and she regularly contributes to numerous craft magazines.
