I just opened up my online shop, Modern Craft, and thought it might appeal to some of your readers. We sell Japanese Craft books, some fabric (also mostly Japanese), and notions. Our aim is to provide craft supplies with a Modern style, that are both high quality and contemporary.

Professional artists are invited to submit materials for selection to become published in Masters of Today 100 Contemporary Artists (two-pages) and one page bonus in Art of Excellence, global art books edited by WOA Publishing (London / Stockholm). All entries go through the selection process. Place and availability in the book are subject to quality and acceptance. The nominations and inclusions are judged solely by visuals submitted as attachment send to: info@worldofartmagazine.com. The editors will review all submission and make decisions on acceptance.
