Great designs with lovely inspiring photographs. I’ve started my first design and it’s looking great so far.
Love this item - provides hours of creative experience . I’m inspired by members of various clubs I’m involved with . All my friends are very excited to see themselves portrayed .
Just as pictured. Very cute little ceramic magnet. It's so nice to look at it when I am using it to hold pins and needles for crafting.
I was looking forward to this book arriving as soon as I saw it was being published. A generous discount code from Beyond Measure made the book even more appealing. It arrived beautifully packaged and on time.
I’ll be knitting lots of sweaters from it!
I am very pleased with this hand tool. I am sewing fifty A3 artist books and my usual tools were not really up to the job. I am able to manage 5 sheets of 200gms paper at a time - there are 46 sheets in each book; it is a labour of love, enjoyable, meditative. I first tried a much cheaper option and returned it, as it could do no more than my awl - one page at a time!
