Let me give you an overview of what you can await: We have a report of some very successful exhibitions and the ETN-conference in Lithuania. We introduce you to very creative artists with our portraits of Greta Narten and her fashion label »Go Banana«, Irit Dulman loves the magic of vegetable died colors, Daiva Gutparakiene gives an insight in her working habits and her secrets of creativity, Margo Duke can not think of a life without the embellisher and Monika Pioch creates lovely homes for cats.
Our cover shows a jacket made by Nadine Richter, a young fashion designer with great potential. You will get to know also how she manages to combine felt and serigraphy in the new FUN. We are certain that the wide range of topics will include something for any kind of interest in our readers, maybe the instruction about how to use the embellisher is something for you?!
