Great Dogs - Amazing Artists

Today, I have some exciting news! Two of my pieces have been published in a new book called Great Dogs Amazing Artists - Canine Art Today. The author, Jan Irving, invited me to participate in this project several months ago. Jan is the editor & publisher of both Clumbers Magazine and Canine Collectables Courier, so I am honoured that she chose my beadwork!

The book features artists from around the world working in all mediums. There are also notes about the artistry, as well as the breed of dogs themselves and how they inspire art. In addition, you will find information about several dog-loving organizations and other doggie publications. Overall, it is a beautiful book that is sure to inspire the animal lover in everyone. Here's a sneak peek - click the pics to enlarge:
