Lisa. I am going to go on retreat for a few days but on my return will be making another book! It is great fun and very easy to do! Who would have thought,

CDLewis- I usually work on several pieces and layers at once so that when the pieces get too dry I hav something to work on no matter if they are wet or dry. I like having more than one thing going on because it helps me resolve creative problems.

I attended your Mixed Media Sampler on Thursday and enjoyed it immensely. Really enjoyed watching you monoprint and use thickened dyes. I have your book and had tried the technique but learned some new tips like using the iron to dry the wet dye. I was waiting for each layer to dry which was drying me crazy. Thanks for all the great tips!

OH! I just went to the Paper and Threads link you provided for the book binding you did with your new friend and I am delighted with the instructions! This is exactly what I needed when I was making up my new art journal. Thanks for sharing!

The fun part of you not having your own camera for these photos is that we get to see photos of YOU. I have very few photos of myself because I am always the one BEHIND the camera. lol

It looks like you had a great time. It is always wonderful to meet new friends with similar interests. Even though I have friends here in town I know I would be a sad quilter without my quilt guild friends. My guild friends helpt to inspire and encourage me in ways that my non-quilting friends never could. It's wonderful to be part of such a fun community of artists.
