Praise for The Black Apple’s Paper Doll Primer:“This book is packed full of loveliness—stunning paper dolls, creative paper projects, even a stellar toy theater, all with Emily’s unique blend of irreverent sweetness. Please be seated with smelling salts nearby: Fainting might occur. It’s that good.”–Amy Karol, author of Bend-the-Rules Sewing and Bend-the-Rules with Fabric “A trove of great imagination, and many fine diversions.” –Rob Kalin, founder of Etsy.com “It’s like getting to play with the characters of Emily’s paintings and step a little closer into their world.”–Jenny Hart, author of Sublime Stitching and Embroidered Effects Praise for Emily Martin:“…sweet and appealing…”–Rob Walker for The New York Times Magazine “The world of Emily Martin is enchanting, exquisite, and ethereal. Behind the soft hues and the peaches-and-cream palette, one can see a lively and fertile mind at work. An aching and mysterious sweetness blends with beguiling touches of the enigmatic and the peculiar, and the results are often remarkably sublime.” –Richard Sala, author of Peculia, Delphine, and Cat Burglar Black “The Black Apple is the perfect place to turn to for a little taste of culture.”—Alternative Press magazine
