Inside back cover tribute to Else Staal Nielsen and attachment of bookmark |
There are ten enhanced copies of
Reflections from a Flaxen Past: For Love of Lithuanian Weaving that have been prepared with a handwoven, pick-up-pattern bookmark in linen from Lithuanian for the special memory of Else Staal Nielsen, 1929 - 2013, handweaver, organist, teacher, lady, friend. For each copy of these enhanced books purchased, I will donate $10.00 to the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners Scholarship fund in memory of Else Nielson who invited me in the late 1980s to be a guest at her cabin so I could attend a week-long workshop on self-publishing at the Sir Sanford School in Haliburton, Ontario. Because of her interest in and support of this author, I will be forever indebted to her and cherish her friendship and memory.
