Before beginning, since writing my last blog post, the server has been migrated and I’ve tested out five additional survey WordPress Plugins for the survey I’m including at the end of this post!

The Handcrafted Letter

First, finding a copy of the hardcover is easily available.  In addition, the pricing for it is a bargain at many of these sites. Also, check out eBay as they are showing having several copies available for sale.

I’m including this excerpt from the write up of it.

“… Getting toPaper artist Diane Maurer-Mathison has used her design sense and expertise to create this stylish guide to preserving memories in beautiful, heirloom-quality cards and letters. Fully illustrated in color, “The Handcrafted Letter” covers it all.”

With the size at 8.25 inches x 8.25 inches square, it is a great size for easy reference.

Furthermore, the Table of Contents really does a great job of top level of what’s in the book: Rediscovering the Art of Letter Writing, Writing a Beautiful Letter, Letters to A Friend, Love Letters, Thank-You Cards and Letters, Letters to Children, Travel Letters and Postcards, Congratulatory Cards, Holidays and Special Occasions, Artful Envelopes, Making Decorative Paper.  Also, there is a Recommended Reading, and Supply Sources.

Next, you will enjoy looking at her website, Art & Books by Diane Maurer. At her site, it includes these categories: About The Artist, Paper Collage, Books, Events and Classes, and Earrings and Scarves.
