@FragileMe, my mum has stacks of books, pens and pencils thats for sure.  She's so meticulous when doing them under the magnifying glass.  Now I have got her one that clamps she is still in the habit of picking up the old one.  I tried to get her to have a go at one of my hobbies last night and she wouldn't have a bar of it lol 🙂  We recently got a laminator so that it protects some of the ones she has completed.  I can't believe how cheap some of the books are and how great the pictures are that are in them.  I really enjoy the ones with animals that are made up out of plants and flowers.  Some of the mandalla ones are nice to 🙂  What are your favourites to do?

@Gazza75 thats a neat idea! I have a led lamp I use over head to minimize shadows which helps nicely 🙂

I photocopy drom the books and put mine in display folders to keep them nice 🙂 also means I can use permanent marker and water colours without worrying if they'll ruin the book or other pages.

Ooh pretty! You might like a Sweden Artist Maria Trolle then, her books are floral and with animals amd we're seeing some faries and a dragon too it's awesome! Another favourite of mine is Hanna Karlzon, also swedish. I'll post some pics of some pages I've coloured over the weekend. I have heaps of books but tend to lean towards those two artists the most over the past 6 to 12 months.
