Urgh. I’m home sick with a cold today for the second time this month! What the!? It’s days like this when one needs the very best of activity books. I think I’ve found one! My Wonderful World of Fashion.
MUCH, much more than a coloring book, the illustrations offer a lesson in the history of dress combined with simple how-to-guides for creating necklaces, head scarves and more.
I can’t imagine ever actually putting pencil to paper in this book (it’s too lovely!) – rather, I can see buying two copies – one to cherish in its original state and one to love in all your creative glory!
For now, I have one copy. With that one copy comes many dates with the photocopier.
The illustrations are created by talented artist, Nina Chakrabarti. A full 272 pages of inspirational stuff for budding fashionistas and creative souls alike.
This looks like a terrific book, especially for girls of course! It looks like the Usborne activity books for kids and the Usborne colouring books – more than colouring, with lots of good ideas. I feel the same as you with those Usborne books, they are too lovely to draw a pencil in it!
Thanks for this post.
Just another quick note to tell that this book is much cheaper at Amazon.co.uk than at Amazon.com
I don’t know the shippings costs for the USA, but for me it’s a better deal I guess!
Thanks for that info!
This book is amazing… I wondered where it had gone to I was looking for it yesterday in Vis com! It is possibly the best design activity book I have seen in a while I shall be making a date with the photocopier as well!
Well, I have my OWN copy of the book. So I don’t know where the Vis Com copy is! Don’t accuse me Missy! heheh
