IFJM 30
















April 30

I wish this paper would be available in a more conservation-minded form. Love the colour, coverage & workability.

Thanks, Roz, for creating the IFJM, it's been great fun and an interesting learning curve. I was surprised to stall time-wise halfway through, and then able to pick up again in the last week after a busy spell of work passed. (I know, not a great way to manage - supposed to be on the day, not catch-up... I thought I could juggle it) Better to think out the details of the character ahead of time too, as suggested. I didn't enough. But thoroughly enjoyed it all the same.

I find the paper lovely to work on, and the colour easier as a beginning point than blank white paper! Likely just in my head... Once the next few days of work are done I will jump in with your Strathmore project... Thanks again.

The Robie House was a compliment and a joy to visit. Would love to return to do a series of transfers, interior details.

A quick impression, from my visit there years ago. Such balance and rhythm. Dreams filled with water music.

Working in the garden, absolutely amazed to find a bird's nest [amongst the honeysuckle vine branches along the trellis], looks like from last year!! How did we miss it? Or is it new?

4:30 pm - Now it's occupied by a robin!
