Author Bio

Connie Sheerin has crafted in one way or another for as long as she can remember. Although she majored in communication, she earned money in college by doing pastel portraits of her friends. After spending ten years working in marketing, Connie tired of the fast pace and returned to the craft industry in 1995. Today, she designs and writes, and is a member of the Society of Craft Designers. Her favourite craft is mosaics, and her book Creative Mosaics was published in 1998.
