Overview:
Two complementary nature-inspired craft books from Jane Spink form this beautifully designed Nature Imprinted collection. The hardcover Crochet Animal Rugs volume invites you into a world of tactile making, where each pattern becomes a cosy, decorative project. Choose from a quirky menagerie—an elephant, a giraffe, a cat, a monkey, a crab, a dinosaur, and a panda—each accompanied by a coordinating pillow or accessory to crochet and carry the theme through your home. With more than 20 animal-themed designs, plus blankets, placemats, and toy bags, this book is a practical, creative companion for makers who love textiles and home-crafted charm. The companion Nature Imprinted volume reveals Jane Spink’s working process for transforming nature into bold linocut prints. From initial sketches and inspirational photos to doodled marks and the final carved block, this book is a concise, inspirational guide for writers, designers, and art enthusiasts alike. Together, the set offers a balanced, hands-on journey between textile craft and graphic printmaking, all under one stylish hardback umbrella.

This two-book collection is built for creative momentum and deliberate, satisfying making.

The Nature Imprinted volume celebrates the art of printmaking, guiding readers through the entire creative cycle—from source imagery to a carved block you can ink and print. The pairing lets you switch between two modes of creativity: soft textures you can touch and bold, graphic prints you can display. The hardcover format adds a premium, gift-ready feel, making this duo ideal for makers, art lovers, and anyone looking to deepen their hands-on creative practice.
