I ordered a few books for inspiration. The only kind of print making I've ever done is monoprinting which I love. This book has some more ideas to try.
I'm not an abstract painter but just curious and wondering if I might try a few.
This book is chock full of ideas to inspire you to think differently about time and space. Lovely photos.

Oooo, yummy books! I considered that last one myself. I ordered a couple new ones from Amazon, but they are not here yet. I've never tried to do any printing at all. Should be interesting to see what you do with it. I love giving myself these kinds of presents!
Suki, those all look wonderful. I have some new reading material myself. That's one of the best feelings--having new books to explore. It's the opportunity to wander through another's mind.
I love the term "chock full"...good choices, each book looks good for exploration!
Oh girl you are going to be so inspired. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Through your gifts to yourself you have just given the gift of 'ideas' to me!
Wonderful, intriguing books Suki. I do want to see what they inspire from within ;)
here's to a creative and renewed "us" in 2010!
Those books look wondeful. Great choices. xoxo
Lovely presents for you. I hope you lets us know what you think of them Suki.
You have excellent taste in gifts!
I have the "Abstract Painting", and I'm betting you will enjoy it.
The one on printmaking looks very interesting to me. (but then, don't they all)
Your header is awesome Suki!
Glad you were so good to you!
Have fun exploring and creating!
Can't wait to see.
Looks like some wonderful books. Will enjoy seeing the art that blossoms from these!
Wonderful gifts!
I am happy you take care of yourself so perfectly!
Can't wait to see what you will create after this inspiration!

your books look great! and i look forward to seeing what you're inspired to do ;-)
Suki - I do love your new header. Please tell me that is part of where you call home. So real - so Americana. The books - Merry Holidays to YOU YOU YOU! No better splurge exists than a little something to jump start those creative juices. You are gonna have a blast!
Happy New Year Suki.
Thanks everyone.
Babs, I thought I had read about that abstract book somewhere either your blog or Kim's perhaps so it stuck in my mind. I met an abstract painter recently who may begin to give classes soon I think so i could take a class w/him too.
Cathie, that barn is on the property I currently live on. It is now owned by my brother. the barn is really, in my opinion, the neatest building on the property.
i love giving myself a gift, haven't for ages....mmm will think about an art book too, great pressie, enjoy and show us when you play with ideas.
Hi Suki, wonderful books, look so inspiring:) especially the printmaking book. I hope you are having a good time righ now, with white shining snow, the header photo is so beautiful, the red barn in the white snow. I have been holing up for 2 days now reading Stephen Kings 'Bag of Bones', I love him:)
Send you hugs and love
Andrea
