\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>First of all, a shout out to our friends and colleagues in the Carolinas facing hurricane Florence. Stay safe and, if you had to evacuate, I hope you get to return to your home and studio very soon. We will be thinking of you.<\/p>\n

So, as I wrap up this week, I have one more cool announcement about some things to look forward to and one you can get right now!<\/p>\n

First of all, just a general observation\u2026 there have not been a lot of books out specifically for the polymer enthusiast in the last couple years but our veritable drought seems to be over. As you may have read on Mondays blog<\/a>, we started presales for the new Polymer<\/em> Art Projects <\/em>\u2013 Organics<\/em><\/a> book \u2013 and what a response! Thank you. Myself and all the artist involved are very happy to see you like the idea well. By the way, it is at the least expensive pricing it will be all year, possibly ever, so if you haven\u2019t done so yet, be sure to jump over to our website<\/a> to claim your book now and be one of the first to get it when it is released October 22nd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

But also, last weekend on Cynthia Tinapple\u2019s Studio Mojo<\/a> \u2013 an every Saturday shot of news and links on what is going on in the polymer community and beyond \u2013 Cynthia announced that she\u2019s working on a new book and revealed that she\u2019s heard whispers about books from both Loretta Lam and Dayle Doroshow as well. If all goes well with this first Projects \u2013 Organics <\/em>book, we well began working on another Polymer Art Projects <\/em>book for next year. That\u2019s sounding like at least maybe 4 books to look forward to in 2019. How wonderful all this news is!<\/p>\n

But if that makes you excited and yet frustrated because none of these books are available yet , there is a book that came out just this past week that you can get a hold of now. Christi Friesen just released her latest book, Do You See What I See<\/a>, <\/em>and, lucky me, I already have it in my hot little hands \u2013 that is the advantage of pre-ordering (it also helps to be but one county away from Christi Friesen headquarters). And, oh my \u2026 what fun this book is! I tried counting how many mini-tutorials and technique tips there are in this book but then I kept running into other fun stuff and would get distracted.<\/p>\n

The piece here is probably my favorite found in the book. This woodland river mirror is one of those pieces that you can look back at again and again and find something new each time. Take a close look at the details. Her joyful nature and whimsy can be found throughout this piece from the curls of the clouds to the nibs in the trees to the little creatures tucked in below. It\u2019s a little peek through the eyes of Christi, a view even more illuminated by the observations in this book.<\/p>\n

Go to this page<\/a> to order either or both the print and e-book versions of Do You See What I See<\/em>. And, while you\u2019re over there, you can stop in on her shop<\/a> and see what new and nifty things you need for the studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
