Heavens to Etsy! Cate Coulacos Prato 10 Tips for Selling Your Art During Hard Times Cate Coulacos Prato Meet the Contributors Resources Index A Note from Barbara I was very happy and excited to join the Quilting Arts team in 2003. I learned a lot about art quilting and all that it entails, and I enjoyed every minute. A short time later, Patricia (Pokey) Bolton had another great idea, and soon Cloth Paper Scissors magazine was born. We were all thrilled to welcome this new publication to the family. New artists, new techniques, and new materials excite and inspire us with each issue. I am the assistant editor of Cloth Paper Scissors, and it has been a wonderful experience. When I was asked to do this book, I was delighted. With so many great articles to choose from, the only problem was trying to select the ones to include! Going over past issues was a trip down memory lane; remembering artists, events, and experiences was time well spent and a lot of fun. It was tough to get the articles down to a manageable group, but I did, and I think you’ll be pleased with the selection. The Cloth Paper Scissors Book: Techniques and Inspiration for Creating Mixed-Media Art offers an assortment of articles from past issues of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine, along with some extra tips and resources to help you find your niche in mixed media. With everything from collage and bookmaking to encaustic and stitch, The Cloth Paper Scissors Book delivers an abundance of inspirations to keep you creating. If you’re new to mixed media, you’ll find new ideas, direction, and exciting projects to get you going. And if you’re a veteran but find yourself sticking with your tried-and-true materials and methods, this book will show you that there is a lot more waiting for you and will help you take the leap to try something different. Soon you, too, will be mixing your media.
