Chapter One Techniques are Done!

Mar 28, 2011

What a great day. This morn­ing, I finally got to meet my edi­tor Jenni Clay­don in per­son. We’ve chat­ted over the phone for months so finally hav­ing a face with the voice is awe­some. We headed straight to the stu­dio to start pho­tograph­ing tech­niques for each of the 40 tech­niques fea­tured in my book. It was great get­ting to see Chris­tine Polom­sky once again. She is so patient when tak­ing all the step by step photographs.

In this photo I’m prep­ping some Pink Paislee pat­terned papers with Dia­mond Stick­les. You will see lots of Dia­mond and Plat­inum Stick­les being used in this book. Are you sur­prised? Some­thing tells me not. And way over in the back­ground hang­ing on her wall are two beauty shots from  my book. I was so sur­prised to see them hang­ing there. They are pho­tos of the Joy album and the jour­nal sit­ting on the easel.

Here is Chris­tine pho­tograph­ing one of the steps of the tech­nique I did on a project. We were able to get all 10 tech­niques com­pleted in Chap­ter One, today. Hope­fully, we’ll be able to get all 10 for Chap­ter Two com­pleted, tomorrow.

And you all have heard me talk so much about how awe­some it is to be a part of the F+W Media Fam­ily. Well I really mean it when I say, “They are awe­some.”  and here is just one incred­i­ble exam­ple of it too…

F + W Media will be giv­ing 50% of eStore prof­its to Japan­ese Relief.

Shop Wednes­day, March 30th in any of F+W Media’s stores and 50% of prof­its will go to Japan­ese Relief Efforts. Books, Mag­a­zines, Webi­nars, Edu­ca­tional Courses, Prod­ucts, and more. F+W Media is my pub­lisher and the par­ent com­pany of North Light Books.

Ok I am off to do some writ­ing and then head for bed for another super fun day tomorrow.
