Earlier this year, Melanie Royals announced that she would soon be publishing her new book: Modello by Design, Inspiring Interiors from Artist’s Portfolios. She put out a nationwide call for artisans to submit their work using the wonderful Modello materials.  (Trust me, I love them.  Check out my recommendation back in October.)  We use Modellos frequently for areas such as entertainment centers, lettering and wall accents.  However, I knew we’d have to pick and submit some of our most unique and artistic uses of the Modello material to be seriously considered along with everyone else. 

This past week we found out we are to be one of the artisan teams featured in the book.  Wow!  My brother and I did The Happy Dance together (not meant to be seen in public).  I’ve been so excited that it’s finally becoming real enough in my head to blog about it!  (According to his site’s News section, I know finisher extraordinaire, Robbie Calvo, will be featured as well.)  We’ve no idea which of our submitted projects made the cut but we’ll find out in late summer when the book comes out.  We get our own copy but Mom has already placed dibs on it.  I guess I’ll have to purchase my own, LOL!
