Synopsis
In their first collaborative project, internationally acclaimed fiber artist Deidre Scherer and well-know anthologist Sandra Haldeman Martz have created a stunning tribute to the wisdom, strength, and courage of older women and men. Scherer, whose work has appeared on the cover of five Papier-Mache books, captures both the inner and outer beauty of her subjects. Martz, editor of the bestselling When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple, brings together a selection of unforgettable poems and essays that perfectly complement Scherer's fabric images.

From the Publisher
THREADS OF EXPERIENCE is the first Sandra Martz (editor of the bestselling WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE) anthology to include full-color art reproductions. Martz selected twenty-four unforgettable poems and essays and combined them with twenty-four exquisite fabric portraits by internationally acclaimed fiber artist Deidre Scherer. The result, a wonderful tribute to our elders-their wisdom, strength, and courage-is a real collector's item.
Barbara Lee Smith, author of Celebrating the Stitch: Contemporary Embroidery of North America, writes in the foreword: "Just as life is built from layers of experience, Scherer builds her forms, cutting the cloth, layering it...We are dawn into the work through the eyes, and then note the years, the attitude, the humanity of these people and their surroundings. Each face is so expressive: questioning, confronting, mocking, conspiring, laughing, surviving."
This gorgeous full-color coffee table book is "a true gift and an inspiration." (Fiber Arts) THREADS OF EXPERIENCE intimately reminds us that life is full at all ages.
Review
Deidre Schere remarkable artwork and Sandra Martz's selections of ageless words from twenty-four authors on the beauty of aging have created a stunning tribute to the wisdom, strength, and courage of older women and men through an outstanding anthology of intense, insightful, inspired, vivid poetry. The memorable art throughout gives perfect visual expression to the sentiment and observations brought to the page with an equal artistry of language and thought. -- Midwest Book Review
