We will be ordering Fibrefusion books next week, but before we do we’d like to offer a pre-order opportunity. Normally each time we order the price goes up a bit - changing dollar values, shipping increases - all pre-orders will be available at the current price. The books available for this offer are:

BEYOND BOUNDARIES
ENCRUSTATION
EVOLUTIONS
ON FORM

Your card will not be charged until the book is shipped to you, the books usually take a couple weeks to arrive, so we’re looking at probably the end of October. If you order other items with the book(s), everything will ship together (if you need things quicker just place a separate order).

Another tidbit: we have fixed the spam problem with our contact page with a simple email link. If I ever figure out captcha stuff I’ll be able to put the nifty form back up.

Oy, it's been a busy (and long and cold) winter here! Just a quick note as we're getting many inquiries about 'this Lustr'ed Cloth'. We are expecting another shipment within the next (hopefully) couple weeks. We are not taking orders just yet as with the changing value of the US dollar we don't know yet what our price is (it may change, or it may not).

Also, we're in the process of adding new dyed silk goodies to the online catalog. They are vibrant single fibers and fiber play packs, along with a restock of undyed hankies and cocoon strippings. Photos soon.

Finally, here's the goods on the new good: Fibrefusion's new book, ON FORM
Fibrefusion is pauline Verrinder's advnced textile exhibiting group based in Cambridge England. The group has authored three previous books, BEYOND BOUNDARIES, ENCRUSTATION, and EVOLUTIONS.

ON FORM is a stitcher's workbook on sculptural textiles, the size is about 22 cm x 22 cm and is spiral bound (making it so easy to leave open on your work table). For those familiar with the previous Fibrefusion books, it similar in format to those but with a crisper, contemporary feel. It has 56 pages and many color photographs. It's not a textile recipe book, but rather an idea jumping off point, allowing for your own original ideas to shine through.
