Sculpting the Human Figure Book

This library book keeps coming back for some 'open time' on my desk. It has some really great ideas and though these kind of books tend to become 'stale' in the sense that, once you've created a card it features, it just becomes more of the same; this doesn't apply here. The ideas in here can be adapted, played with and individualized - not only to the creator of the card, but also to the recipient. There are a few templates in the back (a particularly useful one is for a mini-envelope), which can be traced and re-used.
Another book in this series, 50 Nifty Beaded Cards is shelved right next to the Collage Cards and I don't find it as useful because once you've created the card once, you can't adapt as I've described. I have, however, been stocking up on beads (big, small, colourful and single-colour) because I have a few collage ideas I'd like to try out.
