Thank You Laurel Burch!

I had admired Laurel Burch and her work for over 20 years. It wasn't until I went to her web site that I realized she had passed away 2 years ago. I was very saddened, she was such a wonderful, colorful, creative person and artist. It is such a great loss to us all. But, we have her legacy of amazing work to enjoy, this book in perticular. If you love cats or just love color, this book will bring you great pleasure. This beautiful hardbound book is full of examples of her work, and the designs, wow! Even if you aren't an artist, this book would be a keepsake for your visitors to enjoy. Talk about a fabulous "coffee table" book. Don't hesitate to make this purchase, and get to know more about her, go to her web site. Learn of her amazing strength battling her life long health problems.

Laurel Burch's Fantastic Felines

I have collected a variety of Laurel Burch products, this book, Fantastic Felines, I must say, is one of my favorites. It not only displays a variety of products Laurel Burch has designed, but also goes into her private life, for us to get an idea of what inspires her as an artist. Throughout her book, the poems and the beauty in her artwork, are heartfelt. Everytime I pick up the book I see something new. I recommend this book highly as an intergral part of any Laurel Burch collection or for any cat lover. Great as a gift, too, for that's how I received my copy, and I'll cherish it always. Thanks, Laurel. Fantastic Job!
