Review: GOOD BOOK!! - Ah, now it is rather hard to review this as I have never been good with paints or drawing! My talents lie in writing fiction and non-fiction and making stunning crystal jewellery. However, I recall a movie I saw when I was about 13 called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" which I saw in the 1950s! I never forgot that wonderful movie, and have always had a love for this character and her little friends, the 7 dwarves. I recall making little statues to help my mum out as she had 8 children and we was very poor. She bought the moulds and plaster and I made little holy statues from the moulds and we used to go round with an old pram and knock on the doors! And yes! They all sold well, so I decided to have another go all these years later and I bought Snow White and her 7 friends in latex rubber and she is 9 inches tall and the dwarves are 5 inches each so I was thrilled and have bought paints etc as I go along. I noticed with most of the paints including two boxes I bought from desertcart, they don't appear to have pastel shades at all??? Like for painting flesh colours etc! I ended up sending off for 16 pastel tubes, so yes I am on my way lol. The book? Well,for its price I thought it was BRILLIANT! Simply because the material was perfect, lovely thick laminated shiny boards on a spiral, the whole book from beginning to end was well made, a decent size. However, I did "get some of what the guy was talking about" but I was expecting a book that said for example "mix ……. and ……. to make the colour...…….. but it wasn't quite like that! ha ha. But yes, with reading it a bit more I am sure I will get the hang of it, and def a 5 star rating from me, for the simple way it was laid out and the perfection of the book itself, it's a shame a lot of books aren't made like this, because they are so easy to open and lay out flat instead of the pages "bouncing back and closing up!" Yes I highly recommend it, I did at least understand some of it, so I am satisfied.
