More of my favorite books.
The best art tool ever purchased. I love my fabric and beads, but these guys have taken me over. They are the most expensive art tool I have ever purchased, but they are worth it.
The best technique I have ever learned -- carving my own stamps. I have hundreds now. I love them all. I even love the way they smell!
My all-time favorite and best art tools. That's a chopstick in the middle -- very handy (much like the hand).
What are your favorite and best?

Kim,
You have sparked my curiosity concerning your selection of favorite books. I could not tell you my favorite right off the bat, but the wheels are turning.
Your stamps are great. Hmmmm, maybe you should carve some to sell.
I love your stamps! I remember back in school gouging my hand while making a woodcut. I still have the scar.
Great stamps. No- amazing stamps!
My favorite things-my hands, white fabric(so I can do whatever i want to it), rotary cutter, large eye quilting needles, an antique thimble just the right size and an pair of scissors I have had for a long time. Gathered all up in an old linen bag that goes everywhere with me.
Now you've got me looking up how to carve my own stamps.
wanted to "like" the posts after me.
I just finished thoroughly going over two new books that I just love: "Creative Collage Techniques" by Nita Leland and Virginia Lee Williams; "Drawn to Stitch: line, drawing, and mark-making in textile art" by Gwen Hedley. Both are fabulous. I need a new thesaurus... thanks for sharing!
