Okay . . . I finally got the go-ahead from my publisher to blog about this. You know that “secret project” I’ve been working on for, oh, most of this year?
Well, I’m super-excited to tell you that it’s a craft book! It’s about Kanzashi, and it’s coming out in Spring 2009! (Or thereabouts. Don’t quote me on that release date.) Can’t give you too many more details at the moment, but suffice to say: it’s been an amazing journey in so many ways, and I cannot wait to share the results with all of you!
(It should be noted, this photo doesn’t have all that much to do with the book – it’s an image I use for classes I teach here in PDX from time to time.)
So there you go. No more secrets between us, okay?
Wow! Very exciting! Can’t wait to read it.

Wow–congratulations! I’m sure you’ll do a wonderful job. Will your publisher let you do a podcast for those of us who are Japanese but woefully ignorant of our craft heritage? ;-)

Dear RW (renaissance woman);
I so love it that you wrote ‘suffice to say’ instead of, ‘suffice it to say’. HOW can you also be so WELL at the ENGLISH ?!?
Okay, enough sucking up. Where’s my reading copy? Signed and bound.
Sincerely,
She Who Is Just Sitting Around Doing Nothing
