    Oh Susan, I had to laugh when I read this: "I am constitutionally unable to do minimalist art.." Cracked me up. Thanks. See you in the mail.

    Hi Susan, just to say thank you for super card received? Love the face and I just love the bright colours you have used, take care.
  • Karin Greenwood

    Hi Susan, it is a lino cut. You carve into lino with lino cutting tools to form a stamp of sorts. You are able to do many prints afterwards.

    no entanto, pode indicar também alguém que possui conhecimentos e habilidades
    superiores como, por exemplo, quando se diz que um músico é um "mago dos teclados",
    pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

    Tema: Mago
    Técnica: Livre
    Tamanho: A4 ( no máximo)
    Inicio do Projeto: 2010
    Término do Projeto: 3 / 11 / 2013

    In the mail for you:

    Has war really ended or is peace just a pretext to start another one?
