Comment by De Villo Sloan on December 13, 2012 at 10:53pm: Welcome, Karen. I am thrilled you found your way to the group.

Vaida, thank you for posting the beautiful work. Those are the first asemics you've done I recall ever seeing.

My view is that we all do asemic writing as children, even before we learn "real" writing. Are children imitating the writing they cannot read?

This deep rooting of asemics in us is part of the magic and allure. I also suspect it is deeply psycho-analytic.

And when the theorizing gets heavy, it is good to remember: "So simple a child could do it."
