Topic: What is your favorite publication(s)? Is there a book, books, magazine, or website that has become the bible of your art/craft?

I had to give this some thought becuase there is no ONE thing and of the many items I use for inspiration, they are always changing.
However, their IS one magazine that is my ABSOLUTE favourite – Selvedge. I don’t own a single copy but rather have photostats stuck into my inspiration scrap books. SO, in honour of this post (and to my absolute delight) I ordered my favouritist favourite Issue: Colour, and subscribed for 6 months. This is a bit extravagant, especially seeing as I am eating Salticrax becuase my piggy bank is more anorexic than fat like a pig should be, but I justified it that in a week’s time it is my birthday and its my gift to myself. ha.

….and that’s not the only great thing: I discovered that Selvedge has a shop, a blog and a twitter feed!
I’m sooooo excited now. I can’t wait for my first ‘real’ issue to arrive in the post box.
…and I almost forgot, visit the other merry-go-round bloggers and discover what their inspiration/craft/art bibles. You can never be shy of books or links. Visit: Mariana, Lily, Jenny, Sara, Agathe, Fabienne, Charlotte, Nikki and Ruth.

Hehe, great excuse, I LIKE it!! There’s nothing like having a mag you can go back to, drink in the colours, the layout, the inspiration… Enjoy yours and an early Bon Anniversaire to you!

Happy birthday a little early
Oh my! I am so in love with Selvedge. I used to have a subscription. It was quite expensive so I eventually had to stop. I then switched to the online version which is working out really nicely.
Every once in a while I find used copies for half the price at my local used bookstore. It is like winning the lottery when that happens!
