Just to let you know!


Dear friends,
Once again I need to apologise for being totally lax in writing my posts!
Well I have a very good reason - I have finally decided to tell you!
I am in the middle of writing a book!!!! A book on the way that I felt. A book with technique and instructions but more concentration on images. I firmly believe that artists learn visually.
They analyse images very quickly and get just as much, if not more information from an image rather than excessive text.
SO there will be lots of photos included.
It is for this reason that I have not been revealing any recent photos of finished work. Needless to say I have been working hard ( I promise!) and just want to keep the projects as a bit of a surprise.
I plan to have it finished in time for Christmas and will be publishing it myself. I really don't know the cost as yet but will fill you in when the quotes come in.
Any expressions of interest are of couse warmly welcome and just as soon as it is ready you will be the first to be emailed. Funnily enough I am starting to get quite excited!
On the working front I am at another school creating an underwater installation.
More soon,
Lots of Love
Elizabeth

  10. Hi,
    I have just come across your blog ... your work is really lovely. I felt a bit but just for fun ` mostly I paint and stitch, although I had my daughter and friends over to felt about two weeks ago and the results were great.
    Very best wishes and good luck with your book ... it will be great!
