Rainbow Express Through Business & Art Ellen M. Gibb I found this book to be a thorough delight! It's packed full of wonderful tips for your creative business, no matter what it is. Business concepts and process is presented in such a way that all right-brain folks (like me) will feel coddled, looked after, and safe. If only I had had this book 25 years ago when I tried to start a weaving business! The author makes it fun (amazing, no?) to make business plans and imagine ways tomaterialize your artful dreams. Also,. "Great so far, I would recommend this book to other creative types who want to start a business." according to Suzanne. I haven't made it through this book yet, but so far, just doing the beginning exercises in my journal has been very therapeutic for my creativity and business.
