BREAKING NEWS - 'THE BEAUTY OF ZENTANGLE' SOON AVAILABLE (AND I AM IN THE BOOK!!!!)

Eind vorig jaar werd ik benaderd door Suzanne McNeil en Cindy Sheppard (beiden Certified Zentangle Teachers in de USA): of ik een aantal tekeningen van mijn hand terug wilde zien in een door hun te maken boek: THE BEAUTY OF ZENTANGLE.

NATUURLIJK WILDE IK DAT! Het was heel moeilijk vier (!) tekeningen uit te zoeken, maar dat is me gelukt.

Vandaag ontving ik over de mail bericht van de uitgever: eind september mag ik het boek verwachten in mijn brievenbus.

Nu alvast een kleine 'peek' (glimp - twee van de vier van mijn tekeningen) van het boek.

Ik kan niet beschrijven hoe trots ik ben. Ik sta zelfs met mijn 'SUNSHINE' op de INDEX-pagina... Lezers zien mij meteen als ze het boek openslaan: WOW !!! HOE GAAF IS DAT !!!!

At the end of last year Suzanne McNeil and Cindy Sheppard (both Certified Zentangle Teachers in the USA) contacted me if I was interested in having some of my drawings published in a new book by their hands: THE BEAUTY OF ZENTANGLE. 

Off course: I was and am very honored! It was very hard to choose four drawing, but I managed to do so.

Today I received a mail from the publisher: at the end of September I can expect a copy of the book in my mailbox.

Now all visitors of my weblog can have a peek and see 2 of my drawings. 

You cannot imagine how excited I am. One of my drawings is published on the INDEX-page. People who are interested and opening the book will see my drawing almost at once: WOW!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!
