maak het!

maak het!, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

Yesterday afternoon the author Machteld Stilting and most of the participants were united to celebrate the presentation of the book Maak het! (Make it!) After a warm welcome in Amersfoort, the book was presented. We all got our own book handed and everyone was curious about the result and in search of her own chapter. It was completely silent for a while and that is quite remarkable for this company. Maak het! has become an attractive and useful book with 20 portraits of creative women with a webshop, telling their personal inspirational stories illustrated with beautiful photographs.

It was nice to meet everyone in person. Some of them I knew already by internet, like Engel, Kinchi and of course my friend Nina who is also featured in the book. She brought me a set of her beautiful postcards.

When I got home, for the first time I really had time to sit down and read the book at ease and I am very happy with the result.

I was really touched by the story of Angélique of Zoet-stof. She makes these unique and most beautiful fabrics with embroidered words to comfort someone.

This book contains so many different kind of stories and also business tips from experts, that could be very useful when you are planning to start your own creative business.
