The Artful Storybook

Beautiful eye candy! A gorgeous book about artists who have recreated and reinterpreted the picture book. An overview outlines a variety of structures and techniques, from simple collage to gluing. But above all, these highly visual pages offer ideas and inspiration, with lovingly designed story spreads and covers. Take a fantasy vacation via a travel booklet fashioned from vintage, nostalgic postcards. Follow The Queen of Tarts in a story that unfolds in a miniature puppet theater motif. And two different artists offer their versions of The Princess and the Pea.

Plush-o-Rama Book

Great book for making silly stuffed toys/creatures; I received one as a gift and had to buy some for the site. Has patterns in the back (you'll need to copy them (and maybe enlarge them with grid paper) unless you want to cut up the pages in the book). Or you might just want to look at the pics for inspiration.
