Please be seated with smelling salts nearby: Fainting might occur. It's that good.” --Amy Karol, author of Bend-the-Rules Sewing and Bend-the-Rules with Fabric   “A trove of great imagination, and many fine diversions.” --Rob Kalin, founder of Etsy.com   “It's like getting to play with the characters of Emily's paintings and step a little closer into their world.” --Jenny Hart, author of Sublime Stitching and Embroidered Effects   Praise for Emily Martin: “…sweet and appealing…” --Rob Walker for The New York Times Magazine    “The world of Emily Martin is enchanting, exquisite, and ethereal. Behind the soft hues and the peaches-and-cream palette, one can see a lively and fertile mind at work. An aching and mysterious sweetness blends with beguiling touches of the enigmatic and the peculiar, and the results are often remarkably sublime.” --Richard Sala, author of Peculia, Delphine, and Cat Burglar Black   “The Black Apple is the perfect place to turn to for a little taste of culture.” -- Alternative Press magazine About the Author Join the creator of The Black Apple, Emily Martin, on a trip through her magical world of paper dolls, imaginary places, and clever craft projects.   Inside this book you’ll find 21 sweet, mysterious characters with clothes and accessories all their own—from a busy beekeeper’s daughter to a bird-loving librarian.
