I love drawing and painting but sitting for to long can be hard on the hip joints, not to mention my back. After a couple of hours doing uni homework I decided to go for a little walk. With no particular place in mind I soon found myself at the local car boot sale. It was late and people where already packing up but as I entered this book was the only thing on the table of the first car. It was only 30p, what a bargain. It is beautifully illustrated and ties in perfectly with the brief I am currently working on as the theme I have chosen is plants. I am sure it would also make a great altered book and if I am lucky enough to do a work shop with Laura Kemshall next year this is the book I will use.

Of course, you were meant to find this little bargain!
hi Caz I think your right somethings are meant to be. X:)
I bought mine new when it first came out so I had to go on a hunt this morning to see if I still have it - I do! It will make a great altered book although I don't fancy doing it with mine. Certainly sounds like you were meant to have it. xx
Hi Lin, I don't think I would use it as an altered book if I'd bought it new. The end of the book has slightly come away from the spine and the pages are quite yellow and have that old paper smell. But for 30p I'm not complaining. x:)
