I just subscribed to the digital subscription.  The link to the current issue sent me here to the blog.  How do I access the current issue?  I emailed CPS last week but still haven't heard back.  Can anyone help me?

This issue is really good...

so much that I like...

I was really glad to read Books with a repurpose...this is something I am very interested in...bookmaking in general....I knew I saved that cookie box for some reason!  Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm anxious to dive into this issue....I am also a digital subscriber and have yet to figure out how to access this issue. I did get access to Jan/Feb issue when I subscribed, but no official notification that March/April is available and how to get there. It sure seems that the digital version should be available at the same time the print version is. Hope to get some help from customer service on this....please.....

Most disappointing issue in a long time.  Am also tired of all the articles with stuffed dolls, paper dolls and especially the stuffed weird not-doll things (Heike Gerbig's creatures).  The "dolls" seem to be taking over.  Reader contributions were better than most of the articles.  I have almost every issue, many are dog eared and well worn.  Not the March/April issue.  Hope you get back to subject matter that does not require torches, caustic chemicals or doll parts.

This issue didn't particularly appeal to me but it is always the case that some issues will appeal to an individual more than others.  Generally I thoroughly enjoy Cloth Paper Scissors.  However, I do not see the need to have two pages of every issue dedicated to readers letters that largely say how wonderful the magazine is!  Surely that goes without saying if a reader is continuing to buy the magazine and the space could be dedicated to more interesting reading.

I love this current issue, I think it's time to move on from pointy hats and butterfly wings, very refreshing.  Mixed media is constantly evolving and frankly I think it is getting more sophisticated, pushes us a little more.

I discovered this magazine only a couple of days ago, and was delighted to find such a trove of innovation and creativity. Unlike some contributors to this forum, it was Heike Gerbig's Creatures that drew me in and held my attention, which is curious, because I'm most certainly not a 'doll' person, nor am I interested in traditional quilt-type craft. As a mixed media maker, however, I look forward to exploring future issues, and sharing ideas online.
