new article – Opening Moves…a chess book

Written by

in

On the newsstands Nov. 1 is the new Somerset Studio.  I have two articles.  Will post about the second one later this week.  The first illustrates two accordion books – one was a prototype, the other is larger with many more details.  When I wrote the article I admitted I rarely played chess, and actually hadn't made a move in years.  Then, seemingly within days of writing my article, my husband and I began playing.  He is quite a master from playing so much in his youth against my father-in-law.  I have been beat many times – but that is all part of the learning process.  I'm actually pretty good now.  We have played several matches a day for the last three months.  I'm addicted.

Look for new chess stencils and stamps coming to my product line soon!  I'm so excited!!

    So cool! I love chess iconography, and I like playing the game but I’m terrible at it. I just don’t think far enough ahead, and I get impatient with trying to strategize lol.

    Carrie, I hear you about trying to be strategic…often I find myself constantly defending. But then there are times when I get lucky in the process!
