Not one book but two. Okay, maybe three.
I feel blessed this year beyond my wildest imaginations. Not only did Lauren and Emira, the witty and brilliant behind Boss Lady interview me for their most recently published book The Boss of You which is now on shelves and which I’m slowly reading through. Instead of reading it like it were a hamburger, I find myself wanting to read it like it were an artichoke; slowly, methodically, and savorally. Which means that its going to take me a while to read it and I’m enjoying it so, so much.
But now Faythe Levine, the crafty brain behind Art vs. Craft in Milwaukee as well as Handmade nation, previously known as the Indie Craft Documentary, has announced that her book titled Handmade Nation The DIY Rise of Art, Craft, and Design is now available for preorder. While Faythe did interview Amy and I for the DIY Trunk Show, I don’t know that our interview will make it to the book directly. I do however know that we were asked if we would edit our Craftifesto from the DIY Trunk Show to be included in the book. And we gladly offered our words to Faythe and her co-author Cortney Heimerl for use in the book. As individuals, as fellow craft show organizers, and as DIY-minded folks we completely support Faythe and her efforts with this community and were, heck are!, flattered that she would consider us for her book. The book is due to ship in November I think and the documentary will release next year.
And, in more untitled news, I’ve also provided a short piece for another book about crafting and activism. I don’t want to spill the beans since I don’t know that the F&Gs have been sent to the author yet (that’s the fold and gathers, the initial printer proofs) and I’d like to hear from her that the book title is ready for public consumption. But I’m just as excited by this last book as I am by this first book.
