The written side explains the personal exclamations--all due to Erni's influence on Carina, of course, and possibly many others…

A sea of semi-circles from Suus in Mokum

Colorful, with definite presence, making a strong statement: The beautiful blue is actually darker and richer than the scanner is able to show. Thank you so much, Suus--mail art headed your way soon!
