Customer Reviews

Absolutely top of the bill!
I bought this book on first sight as the cover looked really good. And what a surprise to see it gets better after every page! This work is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Such a pretty style, very creative and inspiring; this is really "it" for me. Recommended with a capital R! I look forward to her next book.

Mixed Media Explorations by Beryl Taylor
If like me you are looking for inspiration to create some thing new with your art work then I would certainly recommend this book. The designs Beryl Taylor has put together are very imaginative. Her step by step projects to help you are easy to follow also you are shown the smaller details close up which go into each design which I found very useful. In my view it is a superb book offering you an abundance of endless designs. So if you wish to boost your creativity then this is the book to buy.

Stunning!
Having just started into Mixed Media, I bought this along with two other books, but this is the one I keep going back to. The Pictures of Beryl's work are truly beautiful. She shows how to do some wonderful projects, some of which I have already tried and been pleased with the results!
A book to look at time and again, if only for the eye-candy!
