May 5, 2011 - Jon Foster is creating some fantastic collages. I was thrilled to receive this new piece. He seems to be constantly experimenting with…

Lauriana sent two a-mazingly beautiful chapters (one red, one blue) in two a-mazing envelopes. I need to find a way to include the envelopes in the book, I think they belong there. These chapters have a wow factor of about a million and I'm lost for words to describe them, so I'll just let you enjoy some pictures. Lauriana, you know those are fabies, thank you so much for…
