Comment by cheryl penn on June 5, 2011 at 3:38pm: Prettylily - FAB work! My word - yes, its weird how aesthetic ideas seems to coalesce within a community. If this is what we can expect for the Asemics Books - WOW - these are gong to be prizes! I am working on my first 16. So far so good. Started out with a printed image on all 8 pages, but each work will be hand colored/worked too. I LIKE original - so I GIVE original :-) X

Comment by DKeys on June 5, 2011 at 3:12pm: This is stunning Sue! and I Love Dorland's wax medium the texture is so silky. can't wait to see more of these. I bet they are amazing in person!

Comment by prettylily on June 5, 2011 at 1:14pm: Not a finished product. Just an experiment in burying writing with color behind.

Comment by prettylily on June 4, 2011 at 9:33pm: Bruno, I just woke up of a nap, tuned in, and your re-blue work popped out at me. It's awesome! I love the color you are working on and the asemics are totally you. Just great, great great, Bruno. The color of your support paper looks very simlar to the color I am using, as my nesting, book page paper.

Just yesterday, I decribed it to someone as, " the color of Cheryl Penn's eyes - only not as intense". I am always accusing Diane of practicing magic, but you must be practing it as well. The past couple of days, I too have been have been working with wax paper, but in a different way. The desire to use wax is Cheryl's influence (for me). Plus.... I have been going through more gesso and ink and Dorland's than I have paint. I'm using it in a different way though, as I am experimenting with a texture I want.

Ironing it, crumpling it, shredding it. Eerie. After we get back from the market, I'll look through what I have scanned and see if I have a decent sample of the of the texture. You know how I like to experiment.

Back later...spouse is draging me out the door.

Comment by DKeys on June 4, 2011 at 8:39pm: Oh yeah DVS it goes without saying that you deserves huge accolades as well, I was just responding to the difficulty of organizing things. And I meant to put a huge smiley face at the end of my last comment:O=)^_^=D

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 4, 2011 at 8:24pm: Excellent Cheryl. Thanks for covering....

DK - Your running commentary on the project really brings a lot to the whole process. I look forward to your insightful remarks. It's always useful to have feedback.

Comment by DKeys on June 4, 2011 at 8:08pm: Yes, I am the lucky person to receive it Cheryl, but Bruno is obviously prolific. I think Cheryl deserves huge accolades for organizing this project. Although I don't know why she just didn't let DVS do it all.

Comment by cheryl penn on June 4, 2011 at 7:39pm: I am STILL trying to get addresses out of people :-( - PLEASE - esp if your address is not on this site, put it in my inbox.

Comment by cheryl penn on June 4, 2011 at 6:36pm: Of course - the blog! Lucky Diane :-)

Comment by cheryl penn on June 4, 2011 at 6:29pm: Bruno - if this does not have an owner - I WANT!!!! (re-blue 8)
