Yes, this is my latest project I just finished! HA OK, not really...one of my friends, Elsie, from our fiber group, brought me several B&B magazines and this picture of a beaded car!! Can you believe this!!! David Best, designed this 'beadmobile' by glueing 1,200 beads/embellishments to this 1962 Cadillac. You can read more about the car here.
Yes, it's book review time! My friends and family didn't know that I had this side job! NOT! I do like to read..well, actually I listen to books on tape more than I read them. Only get time to read at night in bed while hubby watches news or NatGeo!Anyway, Winter Garden is such a good read!!! I loved this book and stayed up to finish it one night. The reviews talk about 'female bonding' but I just loved the story and the 'tale' the mother would tell. It's a quick read and just a tip...if you want to get best sellers or a favorite book from the library, check on the LARGE PRINT edition. I get large print books just because they're easier to read but I've noticed that I can get a large print book immediately or quicker than ordering the regular print book. I hate being 1 or 50! waiting for a book! No charge for that tip!
OK, if you want to read a funny and heart warming book, check out Lisa Scottoline's latest Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog. I like Scottoline's mystery books and have read most of them. This latest one isn't a mystery but writings about her life. What a hoot! I'm laughing at night and have to interrupt Bob's TV watching by telling him some of the stories. Really a funny book.
I want to play today with some ideas from another art book I got from the library. I also ordered The Art of Bead Embroidery after getting it from the library. What a cool book...both authors are wonderful beaders and I'm on their web sites often just drooling over their work!
That car is amazing. I want one. That book on bead embroidery is great too. I wish I could read. It makes me so sleepy. I am going to try that book on tapes idea. I never watch TV anyway. That would make me lose my place in my bead work.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that car! What an enormous amount of work that had to be!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your book reviews, being a big reader myself. That 3rd husband book sounds like a hoot! I'm going to look for it.
Incredible car! I think I'm going to start on mine! Thanks for sharing that.
