I'm Chia Wald and this is my blog. Here is where I share my thoughts and my art. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn't. That's life... and that's me. 
I want to tell you about a new book that I have. It’s written by Julia Andrus and it is called “Paper Transformed”
Every technique has a clear photo of the finished look as well as directions and step-by-step photos where needed.
Many of the techniques are ones I already know but it is so nice to have them all together in one place. From time to time I forget about some of the old standards or don’t quite remember all the steps. Now I have the perfect reference tool to refresh my memory!
Stumble it!

After reading this blog entry, I knew I had to have this book. Last night I strolled down to my local barnes and noble with my coupons and gift cards and picked it up. What an awesome book. Even though I did know some of the techniques, which are oldies but goodies, I had completely forgotten about them. Kind of like when you change your summer clothes to winter and you forgot about some of the clothes you have, it’s like getting a new wardrobe………oh wait a minute, you guys don’t have to change from summer to winter do you? You lucky people.

Elise,
I’m glad to hear the post was useful to you! This book would be good as a ‘workbook’. You could just set a goal to go through and create something from each of the techniques. Sounds like a fun way to keep Artist’s Block at bay!

I might have to check out this one next time I’m in the bookstore.

It’s really a well put together book, Suzanne. There are a few projects in the back of the book but mostly it is just a really nice directory of techniques.
Elise, I hear you hate my blog now because it keeps making you spend money! LOL

Wait, I never said I hated to spend money….especially when it’s for something fun like this book! I do admit that my library has grown since I’ve been reading your blog
