Looking to Learn

Progress on the fossil table top is slow mainly because life happens between crafting. I live in the desert and it's hell-like hot right now so outside of work and chores, which require movement, it's hard to focus on doing much more than staying cool.

Decided to use some kick-back-stay-cool time and start searching for bargains for Christmas gifts. (Just the thought of Christmas helps.) Of course my first choice is to make things but some folks I know, well, let's just say they aren't into the homemade gift getting scenario.

So I clicked over to Amazon and surfed around. (Books make super gifts) And of course I found something I probably can't live without. It's a book called Tiles Gone Wild. (Cute, huh?)

The description says the book has 20 projects. I'm not as much interested in copying the designs as I am in the fact that I'll be getting inspiration and information about methods of working with different kinds of "stuff" .... which is what recycling is all about. After all, it's not every day you get the perfect elements for that dream design.

Found a couple of good titles for the gift season ... can't say what they are,though because, you know, it's a secret Santa thing.
