Opis

This colorful humorous book tells the story of a creative housewife who finds colorful lint in her dryer's lint trap and makes it into a series of pictures, rocketing her to her 15 minutes of fame. She finds some galleries to display her art, then an anonymous mention to a popular local columnist in the San Francisco Chronicle gets her an invite to the morning television show. Suddenly this housewife is getting the recognition she finally deserves-despite the fact it is all from her and her friend's dryer lint. Nearly 70 pages, the lint pictures are creative and tongue in cheek with their linty titles. Elizabeth weaves the story of her rise to fame with photos of her lint examples included. There is a link in the book that takes the reader to a YouTube of the author's visit to the Morning Bay Area television show from the '80's. Don't miss the pink pig called, Pork Tenderlints, or the wisps of lint called, Flatulints. These pictures are cute, funny, and sometimes in bad taste but always very clever.
