Nadine Wendell-Mojica makes my skin crawl

Really do love the unpredictable stitching on this very small two-pager:

Drawings from Lynda Jo Thornbrugh

One inside, one on the envelope:

Lynda Jo's drawing style gives us very expressive subjects -- look at the eyes! -- yet with a beguiling looseness in her hand. Not easy to accomplish, but it looks like it comes naturally to her. I'm very happy to have these -- thank you so much, Lynda Jo…

Drawings from Frieder Speck

A beauty. And another on the back:
