Making a Life

I've been making kit latch hook rugs since I was a young girl. Back then, I appreciated doing something tactile--even if I didn't have that word to describe it--because I was a young person more usually engaged in intellectual pursuits. This is why I was drawn to reviewing this book, and I am so glad that I chose it. First, it is just simply gorgeous. This woman is an artist; she creates rugs of amazing depth and beauty. Before viewing this book, I wouldn't even have thought that what she creates is even possible. The book is just a visual delight. Along with these rugs, she also has little stories about life, art, and making rugs. These were well written and give insight into the creator as well as art, both in general and hers in particular. If you're interested in books about the creative process, you will find this one a delight. And if you like to hook rugs, you will be inspired.
