The Book of Samples. Volume 1. Textures and Creatures 

Experimentation with techniques and ideas is something that I have been doing as long as I remember myself. Despite all odds created by my many moves, I managed to accumulate numerous bits and samples that until last year laid forgotten in boxes and drawers. I was fortunate enough to study with Debby Brown, who along with inspiration and instructions of all kinds incorporates creation of a hand-printed and hand-stitched sample book into her course. I decided to limit the colour pallet of my First Volume and dedicate it to samples that explore Textures and Creatures. It became my constant reference, though next volume is needed soon.
