9 comments Mini Book Tour #1

These are a couple of the books I received for Christmas and I am super excited about them. I thought I would do a mini book tour of each one so everyone could take a peak inside, just in case you are thinking about getting one of these for yourself.
First up is Mike Perry’s Over and Over. This book is a pattern lovers dream! It is filled with over 250 pages of full-color, hand-drawn patterns by 50 very talented designers (including Mike Perry himself of course). Each artist feature has a small paragraph about the work and showcases a few of each artists’ patterns. By the way, one of the artists in the book is papernstitch exhibitor, Betsy Walton (which was a nice surprise- I had no idea).
I cannot say enough good things about Over and Over. It really is incredible and now that I am thinking about it, my most recent obsession with making things look like they have tape on them is probably due in part to the cover of this book. You can purchase it right here.
This entry is filed under art, book, books, craft, cy twombly, design, handmade, handmade nation, mike perry, over and over.
the new blog design is great!
