Customer Reviews

Recommend!

I was just reading reviews for Julia Rothman's book Nature Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of the Natural World, which I want to purchase. Then, I clicked on her name to see what else she's written lately and saw THIS book. I thought, "I read that!" And I liked it, though completely forgetting or not ever knowing she was the author. So, I thought I should write a review. It is a book that is easy yet interesting to read and you learn about a group of women who managed to make getting together and to make art an occasional occasion. Whether you make art or want to return to making art, I recommend it. It is not a heavy read. It has a round-about way of encouraging making time for art ... and if you are lucky to have others with a similar desire, to get together once in awhile and simply enjoy making your art in your style and methods while others are doing their own thing and chatting about life.
