Pressed Flower Art

PRESS RELEASE FOR CHARLOTTE'S GARDEN BY E & E PUBLISHINGS   Press Release CHARLOTTE'S GARDEN Pressed Flower Art Book: Always in Bloom Sausalito, CA – April 26, 2005 – Everything’s coming up roses for Sausalito publisher, E & E Publishing. They have just published a book of poetry of the seasons exquisitely illustrated with pressed flower art. The result is Charlotte’s Garden ($18.95), a poetic and visual feast. The Publisher, Eve Heidi Bine-Stock, has equal praise for the artists and poet involved. “Charlotte Corry Partin’s poetry is very special. Her poems of the seasons are a unique blend of contemporary and Romantic poetry. Only the glorious artwork of Kate Chu and May Long can do justice to Charlotte’s irrepressible and endearing poems. I am certain that all ages will fall in love with Charlotte’s Garden. Quite simply, both poetry and art make me hug myself for joy!” May Long tells us, “‘Painting’” with flowers reminds me of how God is so awesome, because each little petal and each little leaf is perfectly designed by Him first.” Kate Chu says, “I am glad that I can use these miracles of nature to artistically express my feelings and ideas freely.” Kate Chu and May Long are co-founders of The World Wide Pressed Flower Guild (www.wwpfg.org) and have won numerous international fine arts and pressed flower awards. With Charlotte’s Garden, you can hold their very best work in your own hands. Poet Charlotte Corry Partin tells us, “I may be a 68-year-old grandmother, but my family teases me that I am as young at heart as my grandkids! I’ve been writing poetry all my life, even when some members of my family thought I was a bit of an “odd bird” for doing so. I am pleased to contribute my poems to this beautiful picture book.” Charlotte’s Garden is the only book of its kind and is suitable for children and adults alike. It makes a lovely gift for any occasion that calls for flowers: birthday, anniversary, get well. And unlike a bouquet that wilts, Charlotte’s Garden is always in bloom. Charlotte’s Garden is available on Amazon.com, and to the book trade through Ingram and Baker & Taylor.   Libraries & Bookstores (Order from Ingram or Baker & Taylor) CHARLOTTE'S GARDEN is a full color print-on-demand paperback from Lightning Source and is available from Ingram and Baker & Taylor.
