Thnx, from a fellow artist. :)
		Norma Neimeister over 2 years Hi Alice, I checked out your website and watched your tutorial on the business card cases. Thanks for sharing. Maybe someday I will try that out. It looks like a lot of fun!
		Elizabeth Katch over 2 years I really got into the Mandalas. Have set up two Mandala Galeries at my poetry site, http://soulsmusic.wordpress.com/ and used some of them, married with bits of poetry for Christmas gifts. Am thinking I might do a lot more of that, but glad to get back to my own sketchbooks now. Also want to try my hand at some of the other projects here.
		Elizabeth Katch over 2 years My theme was My Life In A Yellow Submarine. I made the subtitle How I Became A Porthole Cover Designer, and the cover story can be read on my page if you click on the two printed out pages. I had been trying my hand at free-hand Mandalas and the circles made sense that way. At least they did to me, lol. Next time I hope to give myself far more time, instead of trying to complete the project, care for my Mother, and make Christmas gifts all at the same time.
		Elizabeth Katch over 2 years Thanks for the add. I cheated a bit on the Sketchbook. The theme sort of threw me, so I did my thing and then created a fictional cover story to explain the diversion and pasted it on the first couple of pages. I believe fiction is an art form as well. I learned a great deal simply by doing the project and I loved the inspiration I found in the experience.
		Elizabeth Katch over 2 years I love your dictionary page. I only got in on the tail-end of the Sketchbook Project as well and had lots of doubts, but kept plugging away at it. Had a hard time believing I actually finished.
		Kip Grimes over 2 years I see that you do polymer clay. I would LOVE to give this a try but I am not a 3D artists. Any tips for a newbie to get started? Small steps, lessons and tips?
		Kip Grimes over 2 years Thank you for your kind comments on my sketchbook. How to save the world...The things that pops to mind is a little girl trying to gently catch a bubble that she blew that is the world. Try to get it done! It sounds like an interesting project!
		Donna Earley over 2 years Alice, the date has been pushed to January now, did you know? I also have the same topic as you.....no small subject! I love your drawings....full of life!
		Alice Stroppel over 2 years I just received my journal today, Nov. 16, 2009. It's due by December 1, yikes!! I'm not sure I can pull it off. But I'm going to try.
