Books..books...books

I treated myself to a few books today. Why? ....why not!!

I've had to pre-order the first two as they aren't being released until April and May of this year but the earlier you order the cheaper they are so it's a win win situation!

So far I have every book in the Beadweaving Master Class series by Lark so this one was a definite must.

Add to that the fact that Sabine Lippert's beading is beautiful, inspirational and fits into the "I must make that now" category was even more reason not to pass this one by.

Virginia Jensen's first book, Cube Bead Stitching, is still one of my favourite beading books and I have made many pieces from that book. The projects are quick, easy and I just love the look of cube beads in my pieces.

When I saw she was releasing another cube bead book I knew I had to have it...only disappointment is that it's not available now!!

Thankfully Maggie Roschyk's new book is available now!

I've had my eye on this one for a few months and was considering pre-ordering this one a while back.

I finally confirmed with that little voice in my head that this too was a must after seeing her project, Helena Elements, in the current issue of Bead & Button magazine (pg 48 - February 2012).

I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on this one...in about 7 days time!

Better go order some more cube beads!!

And finally a book for Spencer.

Spencer's niece, Lily, received this book for Christmas and was kind enough to let Spencer colour a few pages.

The illustrations are fantastic (as shown on the cover) and you really can spend hours "doodling" by adding your own designs to the pictures as well as on the blank pages.

I reckon I might just have to order one for myself to use during those times when I am feeling a little stressed, frustrated or looking for some creative inspiration!

Everyone loves to doodle, right?
