Duncan Birmingham

An alphabet book with charming surprises is the best way to describe this collection of cunning pictures. Each contains special hidden images which are only revealed by using the card mirror provided. Find just the right place to put the mirror, and the mad pianist becomes an astronomer looking at the moon. An explorer in the desert becomes the pyramids he is looking for and an octopus becomes a bunch of flowers. £3.50 (No VAT on this product)

Look Twice
Use the mirror to find pairs of opposites.

Duncan Birmingham

A card mirror is the key to this amazing exploration of visual and verbal connections. Each of the pictures can be transformed by means of the mirror into a pair of opposites. Concepts like 'open and shut', 'tidy and untidy', 'ancient and modern' are each illustrated by placing the mirror in just the right places on what seem to be perfectly normal pictures. A delight to children of 5 and well upwards. Probably many adults too. £3.50 (No VAT on this product)

Symmetry Patterns
The art of making beautiful designs from lines

Alan Wiltshire

In this book, Alan Wiltshire shows how to create wonderful symmetrical patterns using the special grids which he has invented. These grids, based on different kinds of symmetry, give sufficient support and help to stimulate the creative process. Once the 'doodling' has started, it is difficult to stop and when the patterns themselves are complete there is the interesting task of deciding how to colour them. £4.95 (No VAT on this product)

Symmetry Posters
840 x 600 mm Istvan & Magdolna Hargittai

There is symmetry everywhere if you know where to look. And the Hargittais certainly do. As they have travelled the world, with two pairs of eyes and a camera always on the look out for interesting examples of symmetry, they have built up an impressive collection of photographs. From this resource has come these two colourful posters.

Reflections & Rotations
Two kinds of symmetry Robert Field
