flavor for mixed media - book giveaway!

When Mary Beth Shaw asked me if I would be in her new book Flavor for Mixed Media I said yes right away! Although I also let her know that I don't cook so I would have a hard time coming up with a recipe unless it was cereal or microwave popcorn! I love Mary Beth's work and couldn't wait to see what she would create for a book project.

Flavor for Mixed Media doesn't disappoint. Tons of techniques, how to demonstrations, interviews with a wide array of artists and recipes too! You will want this book!

below here's my section in her book and she did a lovely write up on my work! Thanks Mary Beth!

Thank you to @mbshaw for including me in her new book "flavor for mixed media" !
