Why we love it -

This book is truly a celebration Vera Neumann’s life. If you’ve never heard her name, you’ve probably seen her work and not realized it. Examples of her florals and bold graphic designs abound along with inspiration photos, sketches and final products. The stories of her life are told simply and with warmth. My favorites? All of the birdcages, an apple designed for Mikasa tableware, and a simple but busy market scene sketch along with the final design in shades of blue on a scarf.
