Hot Textiles: Inspiration and Techniques with Heat Tools 
Customer Review: A welcome addition to any textile artist’s bookshelf.
This is a comprehensive guide to using heat to alter your textile creations. The first section deals with tools and their safe use (essential in this context!) and the rest of the book suggests wonderful projects using all kinds of material, including a lot of recycled ones. The illustrations are an inspiration in themselves, and Kim’s style is delightfully conversational as well as clear. Well worth it’s cost.
3D Home Designer Deluxe - Gift Pack (PC) 
Customer Review: An absolutely brilliant software package on Home Design!
I have dealt with a number of software packages programmed for home design purposes and this is by far the best I’ve come across. There are still some objects that could be added in a future version but the main features of walls, wall colours, ground colours, furniture variety, kitchen sets as well as bathroom sets are there. 3D Home Designer Deluxe is such a good software package on house architecture design, that the only improvement I could suggest would be to include an e.g. Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Wii, etc. in the list of items to select to put in the living room or bedroom:-) Other than that, I am ecstatic to be working and designing houses with such a powerful tool. I highly recommend it!
Customer Review: Good value and repays investment of time
This is GSP’s offering of the 2000 version of professional software sold by Arcon. I found it to work very well and over a weekend developed several really good 3D views of the interior conversion I’m planning from sketched ground plans. It is easy to flick between “construction” mode where you put in the walls and fixtures and “design” mode where you add fittings and furniture and look at 3D or plan views. The professional software heritage shows in really pretty sophisticated (and complicated) elements like roof-design. But the bargain price also shows in that some features described in the detailed pdf manual don’t seem to be there (eg skylights). There are also a few important bugs like some icons not working and it is essential to visit GSP’s website to fix these - mainly around compatibility with Windows XP. The fact it took me a few hours to work this out precludes 5 stars. Otherwise fantastic value at this price.
