Book update!

Having completed the final edit, Search Press, my publisher have now sent my book off for printing! I am thrilled with how it looks and can't wait to share it with you. I am currently working on some publicity and marketing materials, which is very exciting. My book will describe ten step by step techniques to try to hand-dye tissue paper and will also include ten inspiring projects to show you how to use your hand-dyed tissue paper. 'Hand-Dyeing Tissue Paper: techniques & creative projects' will be published mid-May 2026. Keep following for more info. and how you will be able to buy it. In due course, I will have a pre-order book link to share with you.
