Review of the Art Alternatives Chamois-5"x7"

I find this quite useful as an alternative to paper stumps and tortillions, As seen below on Cathy the cat on this Simon and Freddy fan art drawing I made. I give this five stars.
 

Review of the ProTapes Artist Tape

I like the clean edge this tape gives to my watercolor and ink drawings. The thing I find most interesting is that if you don't make sure that every thing is flat, then some of liquid seeps into those spots and makes cool looking shapes as seen on Stag on log. Below is one of the few works of art that I still haven't shown that I've used this tape on, I call it "Brindle Great Dane "

Other Works of art that I've used this on before I made this post include Molly in the fall , and Simon and Freddy fan art drawing. Some thing else I've found out from using this tape, is that it works better with a half inch border then a one inch border which I usually do for my drawings and paintings. I give this 5 stars out of 5 stars

Review of the Palette Painting Knife Set- 12 Stainless Steel Art Palette Knives with Carrying Case and Royal Langnickel 22-Sheet Oil and Acrylic Essentials Artist Paper Pad, 9-Inch by 12-Inch

I like how these products work I give them both 5 stars. The Palette Knives were very interesting to use, although when I made my signature with a Palette Knife, it didn’t work so well as seen below on the Acrylic painting I made with these two products. I call "Lake at Manchester, Georgia"

This was an interesting book about this boy who follows his cousin after the blue queen who took her dog after breaking the rules of the music box. They end up in Rondo where things aren't as they seem. In there it's a spin off of fairy tales like once upon a time. Over all, it was a cool and funny book.

Book Review of Castle in the Air

Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones
5 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a great read. Hints at the Chrestomanci series. Abdullah must on a quest to save flower-in-the-night from the princess stealing djinn. Soon things literally unravel like a carpet. A sultan who gives death penalties like being put on a 40 ft pole. As usually with genies be careful what you with for, or you might get it all

Book Review of Freelance Writing Guide

Freelance Writing Guide by Christine Rice

$4.99

5 Stars out of 5 Stars

This Author asked for me to review one of her books, and I chose this on. I've always wondered what freelance writing was, and this book is full of info. Some of it that I found most helpful,because it talked about how to make better reviews, which was differnt from how I review books, but it made sense. It also talked about a few social sites like Behance and Writingroom. The book was from the view that you are a new friend to  Christine and asked her about Freelance Writing. As I'm currently a senior in high school, most of the info. wasn't helpful for because of my age. In all this was a great book.  
I would recommend the book to Authors that want to ideas for what to do on their blog,  people who have a family and are going to college and want to become a Freelance Writer, and those that want an idea on how to make great reviews

This was an interesting book about how a 2-D square sees the world. It had some odd things happen like Demonic laughter, and other odd things. 
Basically it goes to 0-D, 1-D, and 3-D, and sees different things there as his sphere guide takes him around those dimensions.

About the author: 
Edwin Abbott Abbott (December 20, 1838 - 1926), English schoolmaster and theologian, is best known as the author of the mathematical satire Flatland (1884).
He was educated at the City of London School and at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took the highest honours in classics, mathematics and theology, and became fellow of his college. In 1862 he took orders. After holding masterships at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and at Clifton College, he succeeded G. F. Mortimer as headmaster of the City of London School in 1865 at the early age of twenty-six. He was Hulsean lecturer in 1876.
He retired in 1889, and devoted himself to literary and theological pursuits. Dr. Abbott's liberal inclinations in theology were prominent both in his educational views and in his books. His Shakespearian Grammar (1870) is a permanent contribution to English philology. In 1885 he published a life of Francis Bacon. His theological writings include three anonymously published religious romances - Philochristus (1878), Onesimus (1882), and Sitanus (1906).
More weighty contributions are the anonymous theological discussion The Kernel and the Husk (1886), Philomythus (1891), his book The Anglican Career of Cardinal Newman (1892), and his article "The Gospels" in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, embodying a critical view which caused considerable stir in the English theological world. He also wrote St Thomas of Canterbury, his Death and Miracles (1898), Johannine Vocabulary (1905), Johannine Grammar (1906). Flatland was published in 1884.
His brother, Evelyn Abbott (1843 - 1901), was a well-known tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, and author of a scholarly history of Greece
