Phew!!! I think that's it!!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your participation, creative idea's and wonderful art works. For those of you who are having a break, or continuing with the postcards, please stay in touch, I have certainly enjoyed you all being a part of this collaboration. I hope at some point that we may all be able to come together to share our books and postcards with each other!
For those continuing with the postcards, I believe that Olley has already communicated with you about how you will be continuing with this great project.
For everyone, please if you can, complete the postcards you have in your possession, if this is not possible then simply return to the originating artist as is.
For those who have chosen to change to the Altered Book Collaboration I will send out a group email within the next week to outline the details.
Kym, I would like to thankyou for your wonderful efforts of setting up the blog and continuing to maintain it, it has been a valuable opportunity to share thoughts and art with others and to be able to connect with other collaborators across the country and the oceans - THANKS!!!

Once again......THANKS!!! to all of YOU for your enthusiasm, participation and collaboration!!!

Olley, these are fantastic! I love the way you use your sewing machine.....have you completed the rest of the postcards for round one yet? I'm looking forward to seeing them as well....Wrapt in Rocky was wonderful....learn't a lot from Keith Lo Bue, such an inspiring artist! I've now got my sights set on attending the McGregor summer school where he is presenting a 10 day workshop!

Hi Peta, I have mine & Melanie's left to do & I hope to do Mel's tonight or tomorrow as I will be away Friday through to Monday night. Mine can wait for a little longer. I hope you will put some photos up on the blog of what you achieved at Wrapt in Rocky. When & where is the 10 workshop that you want to go to & is it similar to what you have just done? Happy Creating,Olley
ReplyDeleteThe workshop is in Toowomba from the 7th to 17th of January 2009, and yes it will be similar to what I've just done so I will be able to put what I have learnt already into practice and also learn some new things. It will also be 5 days longer so that shoiuld give me an opportunity to produce a bit more! I will put a photo on the blog of what I produced and also Keith Lo Bue's website and McGregors as well!
