If you had fun making Joshua's free projects, you will enjoy Joshua’s
Book.
Hangin’ Around with
Noah is a beautiful, full color instructional book, written and published
when Joshua was 12 years old. These are a limited edition- so when they
are sold out, there will not be a second printing. Those of you who have
watched Joshua grow from a 10 year old crafter into a 16 year old professional artist,
won't want to miss out on his first book!
