Just My Style
I've been after a book of this type for some time. I have been experimenting with the machine sketching style for a while when I can and love it to bits. I see examples at craft fairs and stalls and have tried to emulate the style without copying too much! This, I hope, will provide the inspiration and means to develop my style .. I am looking forward to receiving it soon and I hope it lives up to my expectations.
