Читать книгу Woodburning Project & Pattern Treasury - Debbie Pompano - Страница 5

I would like to thank the following people without whom this book would never have been written:

My parents, Dorothy and Sidney Beller, for instilling in me a love of art, nature, music, and good books, and for nurturing my imagination.

My sisters, Margie Beller, Wendy Huntington, Laurie Sklar, and Sandy Miller—whose love, friendship, laughter, (and emails) have comforted and encouraged me throughout the years.

Peg Couch, my editor at Fox Chapel Publishing, for believing in me. Her insights, friendly encouragement, expert guidance, and patience made this book possible and have changed my life. And to Kerri Landis and the talented staff at Fox Chapel Publishing, who have turned my life’s dream of writing a book into a reality.

Orchid Davis, for her warmth and generosity of spirit as a teacher, and for her inspiring example.

Robert Becker, editor of Creative Woodwork and Crafts and Pure Inspiration magazines, for his kindness, support, and encouragement.

And to my very talented “guinea pig” woodburning students in my classes at the wonderful John C. Campbell Folk School—their enthusiasm and feedback inspired me and gave me the confidence to write this book.
