This is a Lagotto........


For Donna and other collaborators who may have read my post from last week about my daughter's breed of dog, this is 'Guiseppi' (Seppi, for short), he is much bigger than this now, he was under 6 months old when this photo was taken. Lagotto's originate from Italy and were bred to sniff out and dig up truffles, which are apparently quite a delicacy and very expensive......Seppi has a wool coat so he is a great dog to have indoors as he doesn't shed any hair, he does however need to be 'shorn' or be groomed very regularily!! Seppi is a dog with a lovely nature, he is fun and can be lazy, he loves his food, (what Italian doesn't!!) Seppi seems to think he is a person, he loves swimming and is very intelligent.
Enough about the dogs in my family....how are you all??? How is your progress with your postcards....hopefully now with the school holidays over we can all get back into the swing of things and get on with our art!

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!!!
