Comment by cheryl penn on June 1, 2011 at 5:51pm: I am sorry there appears to be confusion regarding the size of the paper. A4 is standard size computer/photocopy paper here. A4 is 30cm x 21 cm. You will need two sheets. These are folded in half. This gives you in effect 8 pages to fill, size A5. How you fill them is up to you. The point of the collaboration is to assemble a collection of asemic writing by various artists. You will have to make 15 copies. These copies will be posted to each of the people in your group. You have been allocated Asemics 15 # 1 or Asemics 15 # 2. This means there will be 15 copies of each book. Please advise if this is not clear

Comment by cheryl penn on June 1, 2011 at 5:12pm: FAB Diane - great!

Comment by DKeys on June 1, 2011 at 5:06pm: Great pieces from Bruno, the resident Asemic Detective~!

Comment by cheryl penn on June 1, 2011 at 4:57pm: Bruno - another great 'help' from you :-) - thank you X

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 1, 2011 at 4:48pm: Praise heaven! Cheryl is here.

Comment by prettylily on June 1, 2011 at 4:34pm: I don't think it's weird at all. It kind of draws you into the layers. Like layers of ice, cracked, melted, refrozen etc............ok, now I am really leaving....to paint! Checking back later for book discussion.

Comment by prettylily on June 1, 2011 at 3:48pm: Wonderful! From DK. Made my day.....

Comment by DKeys on June 1, 2011 at 3:46pm: That was beyond fast. With that card I kept adding layer after layer completely unsure of where I was going with it. Finally I just had to 'step away from the mail art. back away slowly and stick in mailbox'. it's pretty weird isn't it? pulling from the asemic ether!

Comment by prettylily on June 1, 2011 at 3:43pm: Diane,

I can't believe this psychic connection that we have. I blink and there is a great card from you! Just this morning, I was discussing some ideas I had for my part, in book 2, and whaala (is there suh a word?) there appears in my mail, a card from you that has some of the elements I had in mind! The wonderful layers and transluscent look. I'm off to experiment with some paint and wax.

Thanks for the great card. I'll scan it right now, before I head off to paint.

Comment by prettylily on June 1, 2011 at 3:31pm: Bruno, We need to make you our official asemic hunter. You find the greatest links! That is a great blog and I will bookmarkit for sure.

Sue aka prettylily
