I really like working ...Hi Jeanette and thank you! I really like working with Tyvek, and some day would like to do more experimenting.<br /><br />Hello Lisa! I'm sorry to say that left to my own devices, I might not be doing this...we have five of us doing it, and that motivates me! I knew the pages were thin, but was encouraged when they were a bit nicer than expected. They're still thin, but seem better than in the past (see Pam's comment above).<br /><br />Thank you Kathy! I knew if i didn't do something durable with the cover, it would look pretty ratty when I finished with those 32 pages.<br /><br />Hi Susan! Thank you so much! I'm not sure what else will develop, but the ink and watercolor pencil seems to be working.<br /><br />Thanks, Pam! I'm so sorry the previous books were so unfriendly to artists, what a shame. This paper comes a bit close to bleeding if I push the ink saturation, so I've been careful. From your blog post description of your experience last year, this is definitely an improvement. I must say that your solution was creatively out-of-the-box!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304349794622823797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265499045292798444.post-10828397444188943812012-06-20T21:57:26.821-04:002012-06-20T21:57:26.821-04:00Just lovely, Elizabeth!!

I have thought about doing one of these before. I didn't ever get around to ordering the book. I have read that the pages are reallllly thin and difficult for some media.
