Soft sculpture artist Abby Glassenberg is back to chat about her new book, “The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends to Sew and Make.” On this mini-episode of the podcast, we catch up on the latest exciting developments in her life including the birth of third child and the experience of becoming a published author.

Please head over to Sheri’s Soap Opera, a West Michigan-based business featuring a fine selection of naturally made soaps and body products. From mint lip balms (my favorite!) to shampoo bars, perfumes, fragrances and shower and wedding favors, Sheri offers a great selection of handmade products. And when she’s not making soap, Sheri like to do other crafts. Check out her other Etsy shop: Sheri’s Sew Crafty.
