Mel, this is a wonderful idea. . . .but. . . .(there's always a but,
right?), NCECA is wonderful, and already there is too much to see and
do in the allotted amount of time to do it in. If this does get off
the ground, I think we should come a day or two early, do our clayart
stuff, so that we are not always trying to juggle our time.
Thanks for doing that for Arti.
Best,
Meticky Liz,
who just got her CM yesterday, and I also like the cover. Looks like
there is some nice work in there too, plus an article by John Chalke
that looks interesting. 98% of my work is functional, and looking at
all kinds of work is good, and is necessary for one's own growth. I
am getting better at appreciating non-functional work, and actually
liking a lot of it. I think it is good not to wear blinkers.
Wanting SPRING!!!!!!

For those of us not being allowed days off without a hugh fuss, I'd like to see the clayart functions on the weekend after so I can participate.
