Comment by MaryAnne on July 31, 2011 at 9:02pm: Bernd, your chapter arrived last week safe and sound.

Cheryll, Havn't got a list with me here, will check in here on Tuesday or Wednesday when I know everything is done. The four short might well have arrived by then (always hopefull) Got some good feathers today for the last couple......

Comment by MailWorks on July 31, 2011 at 8:51pm: all works have been posted. the last copies about a week ago. but apparently not all have arrived yet. let's cross fingers (no confidence in snail mail here). regards, Bernd

Comment by cheryl penn on July 31, 2011 at 8:38pm: Hey MaryAnne - I have received your work - WITH your quote :-) - wonderful - who have you not posted to? There are one or two people we have not heard from.

Comment by MaryAnne on July 31, 2011 at 8:33pm: I had an influx of chapters last week and have almost caught up. All the American chapters will be in the post tomorrow and the last European ones by Wednesday. I am still four chapters short which is a slight difficulty for me as I chose to include a quote inside each persons chapter. This means I have four quoteless chapters at the moment. I will give it a week and then decide how to finish off.
The work recieved so far has been very interesting for me and I am hoping each person will be equaly creative when it comes to the binding process. I hope every one will post photos of the end product when done?

Comment by cheryl penn on July 31, 2011 at 7:32pm: Ok - 31st July everyone - today is the day the project was to be completed. I am hoping that means that work is in the post as I for certain do not have all the pieces of books 1 and 2. All four books will be exhibited in South Africa on the first Trans-diciplinary Collaborative Art Practice exhibition which will be held at our top gallery here in Durban before traveling. I repeat - collaborations of this kind are dependent on mutual trust and reciprocation. I will put the list up for work I have received tomorrow as I also need all the pieces in order to post the binding instructions - I have had numerous requests in this regard.

Comment by PIRO on July 29, 2011 at 8:33pm: I recieved Ginny Lloyd's beautiful asemic chapter #1 today. I allready have 12 chapters including mine. Just four and i am done. Expecting from Italy, England, Belgium and USA. There i move to do #4.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 29, 2011 at 4:43pm: Compare to Native American petroglyph circa 600 AD, Arizona, USA

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 29, 2011 at 4:36pm: Beautiful glyph structures from E's Book 1 chapter:

Comment by Alicia Starr on July 29, 2011 at 4:20pm: Lesley, Yours is the first to arrive. #4 Asemic 16. Compelling chapter for sure. thanks. Have you finished all 16?

Will post these pages closer to the end date of october 31. I think that is what Cheryl requested.

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on July 29, 2011 at 2:51pm: Thanks Lesley. I enjoyed looking at your book projects very much.
