Book Reviews!!!

Thanks to everyone that pre ordered! Kelli and Linda should have all of the book on their way by Monday. We have begun to get wonderful reviews from many.

This book was a lot of hard work as independents and it seemed every 2 steps forward we took one step back. I did not want to let out book that was anything less of exactly what I had envisioned. I hope that this book will be a contribution to the studio art world.

Jill DeDominicis and Dr. Robert Lui from Ornament magazine told me that they were very impressed. They liked everything from the studio banter style of writing to the illustrations that helped convey the techniques. They thought it was very beautiful and informative. I was very pleased to hear this review since this publication is one of my very favorites!
Ornament has also made a commitment to an article on my work and possibly a formal book review. I will update when an exact issue is pin pointed.

Suzanne Ramljak could not review it for the Metalsmith publication because of the technical/How to orientation. I am very happy to have Nancy Monkman review it on SNAG web site and editorial news. Please look for a book review on April 1st.

I am getting ready for a Colorado workshop and book signing. I am leaving on Wed. I am staying at my friend Mindy's house. Here she is above. She has a piece in the gallery under chapter 5- Staples and Tabs. I loved the way her ring "Tabbed" onto ones finger. Not to my finger, though, I am still awaiting a ring. !!
