My Book Stash !!!!


Hi,

I looked at my books after I read a RoseBakes  post on her collection of books and I took a look at my stack, a real look and I was amazed.I had close to 30,how did I amass so many books?

I just love buying books and tools as soon as I read about a book or I go to the store and see one I just have to have it.

I have several I refer to over and over again.

I buy them from different places.I compare prices and buy where I get the best price.
My favourite places include The Wordery,Book Depository,Amazon, the Book People and The Works,
Sometimes I buy old books on Amazon,this could be from old library stock or second hand.

The Works is just phenomenal. You get books,toys,games at around 80% off.

Peggy Porschen's book-Flowers in Bloom is one of my favourites,can't afford to buy it yet but I'm saving towards it.I got a copy from my local library.

I also love Rosalind Miller's book-Wedding Cakes,Mich Turner's books too are really good,so also Zoe Clark and May Clee-Cladman.I also have Pretty Witty's book on modelling.

I shouldn't forget to mention Debbie Brown and Carol Deacon,they make everything seem so  so easy .
When I met Carol Deacon at the last Cake International(2015) I told her how much I loved her book and that it was the first book I bought on my cake roadtrip.

I also like Lorraine Mckay's book on modelling,it's really good,on my first attempt using her book,  I did really well even if I say so myself,in terms of the bodies,I modified them to West African clothes.The faces not so good i'm practising getting the faces right.

This below is my stash





















Below are the figures I made following instructions  from Lorraine Mckay's book


  Yeah.I know I overdid the make up!!




This is what I made from Carol Deacon's book-my very first attempts at modelling before I went for my PME Diploma.That's a story for another day.




I think I have improved a bit?hopefully.


Did You see any of your books  in my stash? Please let me know.
Have a lovely week ahead

Shols.


P.S -before I forget go on to Craftsy and buy a course of your choice,there's a sale on,I bought 2,Yayy me.
