I love this book, and even though I've been through it once, I'm going back through it again. Sometimes, especially with art/craft books, you see things with new eyes, when you haven't looked at them for a while.

This is one of those books that I have looked through time and time again. It really makes me want to sit down and craft something. It really helps me to look at things differently and think, "maybe I should try this technique to make today."
