Word Clouds: How to Turn Your Books Into Art
How to Turn Your Books Into Art I’ve had a lot of fun playing with word clouds on a website called Tagul.

Silky Straight Cleopatra Hair
As Colleen got ready for REAWAKENED book release party I watched her hair dresser transform Colleen’s strands into spun silk.
