First of all, the cover was very detailed and inviting. It immediately made me want to pick this book up to see what it was about. At first glance, as I was skimming my way through the pages, there were so many beautiful pictures. I was really enthused by this. I immediately started reading from the beginning, word for word. There was so much detail about all these projects, it made me want to jump right in and see where my creativity would take me. Some of the projects seemed a bit difficult at first, but once I read them over and over, and studied them, it became easier. You could tell the author really knew what she was talking about. Her detailed instructions inspired me to complete all the projects in this book. I would highly recommend it, for the creative side of any budding artist.
