WENDY'S NEW BOOK!

I'm really excited to announce I know a Published Author (brag, brag, brag).

Wendy Cotterill of Gallery Textiles who is a fantastic fibre artist - has finally got published (and high time too) and it's on pre-order at Amazon!

Wendy Cotterill

Amazon is publishing the book under its American title (see pic above) but Scribd is publishing under the UK title (go figure...) and here is the Scribd link, which also shows a sampler of the contents! This I like a lot. Great idea.

For those of you who don't know her: she's a British artist, has been published in Cloth, Paper, Scissors; Craft Stamper (UK) and Simply Stamping (UK) etc.

Here are two examples of her wonderful paper quilts.

Gold Stars

Red Hearts

I'm hoping this book is going to be a big hit - I went with her when she first spoke to her publishers (we incorporated a shopping trip as well, lol) and knowing Wendy, I know what a tremendous amount of work and original ideas have gone into it.

Wendy also manufactures some rather wonderful mica sprays and pigments - I'm in awe! Don't you just love to see nice things happen for nice people?

UPDATE: Just to clarify for anyone wanting to buy the book:
