Breaking into computer crafting can be daunting to the novice, because there is little written information, Kay Hall author of "The Color Printer Idea Book" has made it easier with her book.
"The Color Printer Idea Book" is full of projects for the novice and advanced user alike. The projects are presented in an easy to understand format, full of step-by-step instructions and pictures of each project and as an added bonus of photos of each project.
I've known Kay Hall for over a year; we met on an email list called Pals@Home. This list is devoted to discussing Print Artist and other computer graphic software. Friendships are formed and a deep love and understanding emanates from this list. Kay is generous with her knowledge and is helpful to all.
Pal's stand for Print Artist Users. This is the first known following of a graphic software program, which also includes an annual convention with the support of Sierra, maker of Print Artist. Kay's book, "The Color Printer Idea Book" made its debut at last year's convention in Ft. Myers, Florida. I have not met Kay personally, but my hope is to meet her at a future convention.
I highly recommend this book to all computer crafters whether a novice or an experienced crafter. There are 40 projects included in this informational book, ranging from T-shirts, clocks, business cards, calendars and mock stained glass and embroidery. This book will enhance your creativity and make your printer sing.
Not only are forty projects included, but Kay discusses printers and how to get the best performance from them, but also includes an extensive list of reliable vendors and resources to assist you in enhancing your projects.
Kay has done a wonderful job of breaking into a blossoming craft and enabling the computer crafter to grow and see the creativity that is inside him or her.
Kay Hall has been producing and writing about computer crafting for over eight years. Her work has also appeared in several publications including: Computer Today, Dynamic Graphics, Family PC, Flash Magazine, Home Office Computing and Mac World. She continues today to write articles and educate the public in the growing craft of computer Crafting. Kay lives in Florida with her husband and four children.
