Blast from the Past: Costumer’s Notes Magazine

Memories – Oh how time flies when you’re having fun! After my co-author Alisha Westerfeld and I finished up with my book “The Cloth of Egypt: All About Assiut,” we had a great big party!  We also launched a beautiful “behind the scenes” full-color magazine, entitled “Costumer’s Notes: Behind the Seams – The Making of Cloth of Egypt.”    This magazine is free to view and read on the Issuu website.  In addition, Issuu has recently let us know that you can also print it on demand too!  If you like the way it looks and you want a copy for your own bookshelf and reference library, just follow the link on the Issuu website and you can a copy of your own!

My team of collaborators, photographer Alisha Westerfeld and Author Sara Shrapnell and I are contemplating releasing another magazine. We’re taking a long look at this publication and brainstorming what we would like to do next. In the next few weeks, we will be having a series of meetings, and with luck, will be formulating a plan of action to bring another beautiful, informative, full-color digital magazine devoted to our favorite subject, belly dance, to the Issuu website.

In the meantime, take a peek at our last digital magazine! If you like assiut, you will love flipping through the pages. I’m off to brainstorm!

I’m eager to see what happens in 2017!
