Hi ILSSA operators,
This sounds interesting. I'll give it a try. Haven't been able to access my
email account for 6 weeks or so, and finally have it up and running again on my
new computer. So....will have to get some envelopes!
Just saw someone's message about yarn collecting. If that counts, I'll have
lots to collect over the year. I don't currently count that as my art practice,
though...so?
Ciao,
Champe
