AUTHOR: Artist, writer and proficient knitter Susie Johns is simply bursting with creativity. Although she can adapt her skills to a wide range of crafts, she prefers embroidery, knitting, crochet, collage, drawing and watercolour painting - particularly when it involves recycling and reinventing. Susie has also written and illustrated a number of books on a variety of creative subjects as well as having many of her features and interviews published in magazines, such as Embroidery, Stitches, Let's Knit, Crafts Beautiful, Quick and Crafty, Needlecraft, Beads and Beyond, Family Circle, Practical Gardening, Practical Parenting, Junior and Art Attack. If that's not enough, Susie also takes the time to teach her skills to others at the Bexley Adult Education college in London, UK.
