Katerina, thanks for showing these particular pages of Marcia/Fifi's. They are beautiful!  I'm very drawn to them. They are an eye-opener for a currently non-minimally-inclined asemic newbie whose work will end up one big black blotch by September.

I have made 18 pieces of the two asemics I´m in if somebody misses mine from asemic one I have one for a second try, The asemics 3 are on the way but I think they need a little time more to arrive.

Katerina, your chapter arrived safely yesterday. Thank you. Especially for the sand paper!
Comment by MaryAnne on August 9, 2011 at 2:34pm

Cleveland Wall's chapter for #2 arrived today. yay.
Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on August 8, 2011 at 8:48pm
Since I (unfortunately!) arrived too late to participate in any of the projects going on now, DVS, it would actually be a hijacking of your intro by, gasp, an outsider -- not that I imagine that's a crime 'round here -- thank you.

Thanks JMB - greatly appreciated. Asemic writing is something I've seen for years but this is the first time I dug into it. I remember Jake Berry did a lot.

Nancy, as with Project 26, you can take the intro and do or not do what you want with it. I think it helped as documentation in the last project. In the intros I'll try to sort of summarize points that were made during, in hindsight, the really interesting discussions buried in these threads.
