Recensioner i media

The beauty of the front cover indicates the quality of the contents, every page filled with incredible photographs, all Marion's work.For novices, through to real artists, the book is a true inspiration, vibrant, exciting, a step-by-step guide to achieving true pieces of art. The excitement of my granddaughters on seeing the book and the equipment I had bought, all listed clearly in the book, was a joy to see but it was at least an hour before we could get started. They were so entranced with the photographs they had to see each page first of all and then their personal thoughts of Marion had to be read and discussed. This is so much more than a guide, it is a thing of beauty in itself. The three of us decided to start with the first design, the Ladybird which we sketched the basic design but then added our own decoration which the girls loved doing and achieved an excellent result.The instructions are so easy to follow, very clear, and in simple language for all to follow.I honestly cannot praise this book enough and am certain it is going to be referred to many, many times in our craft sessions. Painting stones has never been such fun. All three of us, 6-year-old, 9-year-old, and 73-year-old all gave it 10/10 and at £9.99 is one of the best value books I have owned.
