At last

When I first read that a book about Doris Eaton's work had been published, I rushed straight to Amazon to pre-order it.  Months and months and months went by and they could never get it for me, so I gave up.  I knew I could order it from Canada, but the postage would be prohibitive.

But wait!  Amazon finally has it and so do I.  I am beyond excited.  I got up early this morning and spent an hour lovingly reading the beginning of this beautiful book.  I love that she uses recycled materials (hard to find in Taos) and I love that she does her own designs; while I've done other people's designs up until now, just to get some hooking and color practice under my belt, I want to design my own work from here forward.  Because of my years long love affair with historic and contemporary tapestry weaving, I am eagerly hoping to find a happy medium between weaving and hooking, in terms of my own designs.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I highly recommend this book.  Lucky you who live in Nova Scotia and may have studied with this great woman!!!  If you have, I'd love to hear your stories.
