Drop everything, drive to the nearest bookstore and buy Foolsgold by Susan Wooldridge. I am TOTALLY serious! I just opened it up this morning over my bowl of cereal and by the 4th page of the introduction, I had to put it down and go fix my mascara that had started to spread around my moist eyes. Susan is a gem and really, truly gets it. She puts feelings into words and reminds us why creativity is SO important. Get the book...you won't regret it.

SHE is an INCREDIBLE LADY. I ADORED her workshop at Artfest!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read the book... thanks for the recommendation.
Oh Dear. I'm going to be so broke...but what the heck. I love books and adore words!
ReplyDeleteI just got this book from Amazon, along with her book, Poemcrazy, which I'm reading first...Can't wait to get into this one!

ReplyDeleteYou were so right on about Labrynth~how can I resist such a ringing endorsement!!
ReplyDeletewill she be back at artfest 2008?
ReplyDeletemiss t, i am impressed that you manage to have mascara on before you eat your cereal in the morning!!!
ReplyDeletei'm going to get the book you suggested...
lucky, lucky daughter. a deck? lots of windows? and not having to shop around for apartments after she moved back? you guys are wonderful parents, and i know how much she must love you both...x
Thanks Teesha! I was wondering what book I should buy with my left over credit on Amazon.com.
ReplyDeletehi teesha, it's minnie's daughter ashley. i am a longtime fan of your work. i finally got a blog going... check it out! ashleyrosehelvey.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing book. I'm halfway done. Thanks for the rec!
ReplyDeleteI got it and am loving it! moist eyes here, too..
ReplyDeletem.
Sounds good, I've been trying to reawaken my inner artist, would this help? Love your blog and your work:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the book suggestion.
ReplyDeleteIt is just what I needed!
this looks so good.. just may have to get this one! thks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI ran right out and bought it. (Are you a hypnotist, Teesha?)I have been reading it in bits: at the dentist's office, in the car while picking up my kids, just before sleep, in the morning with my coffee, and during potty breaks at work. I love it. I have so much to learn about letting my engineering/practical side go and just playing. I have even more to learn about connecting with deep emotions. I'm a joker, not a cryer. Maybe that will change as I read this book over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI'm also enjoying it in bits and pieces...it's the kind of book I don't want to read in one sitting, as I miss so much. I also bought my copy at our local independent bookstore so I'm feeling particularly virtuous as well...thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteHi Teesha, I was very happy to see your recommendation for Susan's book! Those of us who took her workshop KNEW it would be great!
ReplyDeleteShe really is an amazing person - hope you have her back at Artfest 08.
P.S. We almost have our poetry book done (of stuff we all wrote in her class) - you're on the list!
Hope all is well. Ginny Ballou
udjmrwiqI loved poem crazy and am thrilled to see that Ms. Wooldridge has a new book. Foolsgold came in the mail yesterday and I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteYou always know about the best books Teesha.
If Susan comes back to Artfest, I will sign up for her class.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
I always read your blog and find your art wonderful!
sorry...I just read it on the text....:)jn
ReplyDeleteI have to agree! I featured her on my blog also because I was so in love with her writing. I have been reading it very slowly so it doesn't end. She has such a visual way with words that inspires my are and my writing.
