Wow! Talk about starting the New Year with a bang!
Now, of course I knew this was coming up, but it’s been back-burnered in my mind for ages as it was in the polishing and publishing stages. Imagine my surprise when I got home late yesterday evening to find a huge brown box waiting for me…from Sterling Publishing? At first I thought it was something Kate McKinnon is sending to me but then it clicked! OMG – Marcia DeCoster’s new book is out!!!
Tearing into the box I found my copies of “Marcia DeCoster Presents”; I’m on pages 102-105! FOUR pages of my work showcased with some of the most interesting, talented and visionary bead artists on the planet, and included at the specific request of Marcia herself!
I am so high with delight, awe, fascination, humbled amazement, joy and gratitude…
So many delightful feelings are tumbling through my mind right now!!! Contemporary Geometric Beadwork Volume 2 is in the final stages of preparation and will join this lovely new book, as well as Volume 1, on my bookshelf soon…
When I’ve had time to assimilate the shock and awe I’ll post more about this lovely book; oh, and I will be resuming teaching this Spring, too!…so much to tell…”see” you soon.
Happy Beadsday!

Hi Christina! Good to hear from you again.
Thanks! I’ve been busy….not all fun, but hey – at least there’s beads at the end of the tunnel! *G*
Congrats! Christina Exciting to be published isn’t it! I am really looking forward to Volume II of CGB ~
Thank you! Yes, it really is fun; it is nearly 10 years now since I was first published and the thrill NEVER wears off – and to be included in a friend’s book? Well! That’s something amazingly special and very humbling, too. So much great art is in Marcia’s book. Volume 2 is nearing completion….won’t be long now!
