Well it's been a very good week indeed for happy mail :-) First of all this little beauty landed on my door mat. It's the much awaited Gelli Plate printing book by Joan Bess herself, and I'm TOTALLY honoured to have a couple of gelli art makes in the gallery. For my UK friends this book is currently available to pre-order on Amazon *here*
And it was accompanied by this gorgeous little tag from Joan ... something to treasure ...
And then, as if that wasn't enough, one of my favourites from Stampington arrived with a little article by moi!
Sometimes these article are written way in advance and I do forget when they are going to be published, so when it arrives it is genuinely a very nice surprise :-) In the UK the magazine is available *here*
Being published is a very great honour and not something that I take lightly, or for granted. It is something that I am extremely proud of and still can't quite actually believe.
And by the way, my son actually took the profile pic that I use when asked for a picture, so every time I am published I tell him that he has been published too!
How exciting! I might just have to buy that Gelli book lots of my favorite artists in there including you of course!
ReplyDeleteI love that your son gets published too.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Thanks Joy, so does he!
DeleteCongratulations on your published articles. Your art is so inspiring.

Congratulations Kate and Son for both being published, your article looks interesting and can't wait to get the Joan Bess book, i think it is a need for all those who Gelli print :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI got my book about a week ago and read it from cover to cover in one sitting - when I got to your page, I thought to myself - "HEY - I know her!" LOL - Pretty heady stuff for you right now - good job!
ReplyDeletecongrats Kate- such fantastic news!!! I know how you feel when after such a long time and the issue comes as a surprise what a great honour it is to be amongst so much talent:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you Kate..Congrats on that score! I also like that your son gets some kuddos as well!! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Kate, well done you x x
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Kate! Your son did a great job with the picture!!!! BTW - I just want to tell you how much I love your DVD's and how much I learned. I love re-watching them, especially when my artsy muse seems to have left the building. Oh and I love that you include your journaling, and not "sugar coating" when life sucks. xoxo
