My favorit Mixed Media Art books..

Im a big Amazon.com fan...
I love to order books and I do order books..
Here Im going to tell you about my favorite books..

Im going to start on my favorite book after my favorite Mixed Media girl, Kelly Rae Roberts.
 I do so much love her work and now I´m taking her E-cours, Flying Lesson. I cant describe how much I admire her for giving all this information to all of us taking her class she is now having for the last time. 
My visitor to my blog have increased from being one and one to almost 100 or more over the day. 
I just love that girl.

This book is a must. 
She is written by the adorable Flora Bowley. 
It is a beautiful book. 
I bought that book, sat down with it and I did not stand up until I had finished reading it. I just love the way she write and the photos are just fabulous.
 I love the way she is into Yoga and meditation as well as she paint. 
I hope I can take her class one day. Or.. Im going to take her class one day..


Suzy is fun. 
I love to watch her video. 
I love her girls and I love the way she show us how to make. 
I did order these Prisma colors pencils but I was not as happy with them as she is. 
But of cours you can use what ever you want. 
I love the photos in this book, so many and so many how to do things. 
This is a book I grab over and over again, just to get inspired.


This book is a must too. 
On the back it says. 
Inside Art Saves, experience the stories of 20 artist who found that artistic expression and the artistic process is worth living for. 
20 very interesting artist tell their story. 
A beautiful book full of photos and as I said just a must..

Surface Treatment Workshop is a great book too. 
I go through this book many times and always see something that interest me. 
It shows 45 techniques, Multiple variations and it has an Inspirational style.
This is my new book only arriving yesterday. 
I have not had time to read it but I hope it is a good one. 
The autor is Mati Rose McDonough. Cant wait to start reading.

MY favorit magazines are Somerset Studio and Cloth paper scissors
I can only get CPS here in Iceland but I have to order Somerset Studio from the USA. 
I would like to know about more magazines so please leave me a comment if you know of some and too if you know of some "must have books"

Have a beautiful weekend and happy PPF, where ever you are in the world.

  9. Sigga, on second thoughts...I remembered this book 'Paint on Paper' by Angie Franke and Monique Day-Wilde. It has over 130 techniques to decorate paper. I thought that's interesting!

  11. What a long list of books to read and learn from.
    I like the art of Danny Gregory and have several of his books, some are full of other artists works. He has a blog to follow as well and a video I love which I think is called "Breakfast".

    I missed seeing YOUR art here today, boo hoo!
