“You set a wonderful tone of joy, inclusiveness, relaxation, and playfulness. A newbie like me feels so welcomed, and I feel no pressure to do anything perfectly, or rigidly adhere to any standards. Your videos are so warm and friendly, and you’re so generous with your knowledge! You’re really creating community here. I’m so happy I joined!”

– Liz N

“The community you’ve created is unique in that the members are unfailingly kind and encouraging as well as being creative and inspiring. I think everyone, from the talented professional artist to the happy dabbler (that’d be me), benefits.”

– Frances K

“I am so glad I found this group. Now, more than ever, it’s good to be a part of a like-minded community. Never any pressure. Total support. Fabulous!”

“I love what the book club has become- camaraderie, sharing of projects, inspiration, easy to follow instructions.”

-Shimi M

“You chose two people (for your last mixed media classes) who were as passionate about their thing as you are about handmade books. They made their topic seem doable and encouraged us to use what we have and gave permission to modify and do it our way.  I don’t know if this is the way everybody in the handmade book  world is (passionate, gentle, forgiving, encouraging of beginners) or if you are choosing people that meet your expectations.  Which ever, thank you for pushing me to try and learn new things.”
