    <body><![CDATA[Some interesting ideas, good for beginners.  It's difficult not to be inspired or encouraged by looking at the pictures and techniques throughout.  As is the case with most books of this nature, I'm not a huge fan of the artist's work-- it's the methods employed that are relevant.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is well-organized and offers clear instruction. I'm not fond of the actual artwork though-- it's gaudy and uninteresting. Lots of stamps that say &quot;believe&quot; and &quot;dream&quot; and what-not. Kind of looks like someone threw up a bunch of feathers all over the pages.  ]]></body>
