 WAITING LIST: We encourage people who want to participate to add your name, even after we reach the 20 mark. Experience shows that the line-up is "in flux" at the beginning.

The book page format will be the same as for the Asemic collaborations (1-3) - 2 sheets folded A4 - ie 8 sides. You will need to make 20 copies and post to each person on the list - the addresses will be added to this discussion once we have got confirmation from all the participants. Again - these collaborations only work if everyone commits and endures!

I would like to participate. 

[De Villo Sloan]

Hi Michael, unfortunately both these editions were finished last year & Cheryl is no longer an IUOMA member.

One of us will be more than pleased to contact you if we do any similar projects together again.

Cheryl is doing some new projects via her website. Maybe you could check that out.
