Wonder For the EyesMay 12, 2004 This is the most extrodinary book of Textile Art I've ever seen. You can look at it then look again and not see all of it. It has simplity and emmence detail at the same time. The photography has been well done. And to think this artist began her journey 30 years ago when this kind of fibre art was not even heard of. The colors she uses are peaceful and earthy. A joy to look at. I have read it many times yet still I am thrilled and inspired when I read it again. A must for any fibre artist's library.
A perfect experience!November 22, 2003 The first time you look at this book, you will want to rush through just to make sure that the images inside match the promise of the cover. Then you will want to find a place where you can linger as long as you please to take in the beauty of each page. The bonus of having design sketches with notes by the artist makes this book absolutely captivating. You do not have to be a "Mein wannabe" but you may well be tempted to try. This book will become your newest favorite book.

This book is absolutely breathtaking! The art alone is worth buying the book for. The ideas this lady generates with her views of nature will get your creative juices flowing so much that before you know it you'll be outside hunting down bugs and drawing them. My dogs get frustrated with me because instead of walking them as I used to I now stop every few feet to look at an insect or the odd-shaped leaf or grass, etc. I would recommend this book as THE greatest art/craft/fiberart book ever and this compliment isn't given lightly. I have many, many beautiful craft books but this one is the BEST!
