New website is a coming!
This is all a tad embarressing ... but my PickOne website is seriously out of date and in desperate need of an up date ... I am not the only one but in our collective defense it is a tad tricky in keeping all these "balls" juggling!
So with this in mind I have spent the day sorting it all out and I am happy to report that its now all in hand.
I have to wait while all the various hosting sites etc ... to do there thing, but saying that it may still be a number of weeks before the new site goes live.
There will also be an on line selling page, videos as well as all the regular features one needs for a successful web site.
This, like the blog will be a works in progress, but the back has been broken!

A Well Written Book.
You wait for ages for a wee blog posting to come along and you get two in one night! This second entry is about a wee book that I have an interview in. The book is called "Basic Textile Design 01" and is written by Frances Stevenson and Josephine Steed.
On Amazon there is a great review Tom Embleton, from Northbrook College, UK.
'The concepts, sentences and ideas were very clear and written in a student friendly way ... very good illustrations which are very appropriate and quite exciting. The case studies and interviews are excellent, giving students a broad look at the different aspects of textiles, also some really good quotes. One particular strength is the fact that the authors and interviewees all continually reiterate the value of drawing and solid research ... I did feel like picking up my sketchbook and starting to draw many times whilst reading.'
Click on the above links to take you to the relevant Amazon page. A bargain at double the price!
Another book is in the offing that features my work, but more of that later in the year!
