Wow, It is such an amazing feeling to see my work immortalized in “Altered Paper Jewelry” by Jenn Mason. She had approached me through Etsy back in January (I think) about with submitting a piece for her book. Even though I took all the necessary steps, I didn’t know if my piece would actually make it into the book. Even when she emailed me about 2 weeks ago about sending a copy of the book, I still didn’t really believe that my bracelet would be in the book, and I didn’t want to ask if it was. Well, imagine my surprise and delight when I went to the BN today and saw her book on the shelves. I decided to check for my piece, and sure enough, it was in there, with my mini bio and everything! I feel so special! If this isn’t validation, I don’t know what is.
Go out and get the book, and look on page 109 for my bracelet, and be sure to check the bios!
Congratulations! That is such a great feeling. I got an apron pattern accepted into a book that was published this spring and I’m really proud of it too. I’ll have to look for it the next time I go to Powell’s in portland.
