Hi Iris,
 IJ>         Oh well, count me in, I need a creative experience :)
OK, your on the list!
 IJ>         Er.......  is there life after school?????  Actually, I've been 
 IJ> painting whiteware, I did a plate for my son-in-law, and a wolf chasing 
 IJ> a rabbit down a hole for a friend.  I like dry brushing, I haven't seen 
 IJ> any instruction books though, and the lessons are a little expensive, so 
 IJ> we will have to try playing around on our own.
Sometimes that is the best learning experience..... I'll look around here and 
see if I can find some info on dry brushing....
IJ>         OH, I tried knitting again, a baby sweater, and I managed to 
 IJ> knit the back in a couple of sessions, without making myself sick!  I 
 IJ> have to wait a little now as I have a sinus infection and the old ears 
 IJ> are bad again, But I'm hopeful that it's just a passing thing this time.
Good for you!!!! for a grandchild or a friends baby?
 IJ>         How about you?  What are you doing?
I'm busying making "foam block" paint cards..... a new kit that Plaid has 
out.. foam rubber cutinto flower designs and you put paint on the foam rubber 
and "dabb" the card surface.... mine are flower patters.... rose, geramium, 
tulip and ivy and roses....I'm very happy with the look.... I'll send a 
sample your way!
I'm working on the Emblishments piece with a group of ladies too... Emie 
Bishop piece that is quite involved....about half done....
I'm getting interested in needlepoint too!
Take care, and do take some time from school to do a few "fun" things too.
Gail
