In my last post, I wrote about an
opportunity that I had recently turned down because it just did not seem to be the
right fit for me, today I want to SHOUT about an amazing opportunity
that this time, was absolutely right!
Over the summer I was contacted by an
acquisitions editor representing Quarto Publishing, with the Walter Foster group, I must admit that the email really caught me by surprise and I
had to read it more than once.
As it turned out, while doing artist
research, some of my doodles had caught this editor's attention and I was being contacted to see if I might have interest in collaborating with
them on a book project.
Whoa!......you gotta know I sure was interested and couldn't wait to hear more!

She proceeded to fill me in on the concept of the book as well as what they had envisioned for my contribution. It did not take long to determine that this project certainly did seem to be a perfect fit, and, as you might imagine, I was quite excited to accept the proposal and eagerly got to work creating projects for my section.......(although I really should not use the word “work” as I have been thoroughly enjoying the process)
The Art of Fashion Tangling: 40 prompts, patterns & projects
for fashion-forward tangling artists &doodlers is
to be 144 pages featuring several artists/authors, each one bringing to it, their own
unique, fabulous style.........and I am completely thrilled to be
counted among them.
You can read details about the book and
its scheduled release date here
