Bead One, Pray Too: A Guide to Making and Using Prayer Beads by Kimberly Winston
My review
I heard about this on the CraftSanity podcast and it sounded really interesting, so I borrowed it from the library. The author said that she gave an inroduction to a variety of religions in the course of the book and crafting sounds like a great way to learn about religions of the world!
An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration From The Private Sketchbooks Of Artists, Illustrators And Designers by Danny Gregory
My review
Danny Gregory has been recommended to me many times, especially by Amy of the Creative Mom podcast, a very creative and high quality podcast. I bought the book she uses as her bible (it sounds like), The Creative License after I had reserved An Illustrated Life at the library. Of course I received them all the same week. I think that this book will be by the Jennifer New book, Drawing From Life: The Journal as Art, but I will let you know after I have given it a thorough going over!
This sounds really interesting! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
Welcome to the blog and thanks for reading! I will post a better review once I read it!
The beading book is terrific. Thank you so much for sending it to me, what an awesome surprise. Especially since I’ve been so good about not buying new books this year so far, it was extra fun to get one in the mail from you. so much good info in the book , and inspiring pictures.
I am glad you got it. I checked it out of the Library, but haven’t looked at it yet. Check out the podcast (CraftSanity #81 at http://blip.tv/file/get/Craftsanity-CraftSanity81KimberlyWinston335.mp3). It was a really good episode.
When ever I travel to a foreign country, I purchase prayer beads. I love to study art and theology from foreign cultures. A little something you didn’t know about me!
Fascinating! Have you seen
