I'm saving the page but recommend adding search to your blog. Did you ever make more "Sweet Tee Originals"? <br /><br />I am still wearing the prototype ~ more here in Yuma than I did in Mountainair. The alt.art banner is hanging in my bedroom directly across the room from the Egyptian wall hanging.<br /><br />Anyway, my grad school BFF Meriel was an art major and artist/crafter before going back to grad school. She kept doing crafts and making jewelry (much more interesting than the bead stringer's) but stopped painting. She started again ~ working with something called New Action Painting (™ even) and is now teaching some workshops. I'm trying to encourage her to start her own blog and not count on New Action Painting and other workshop hosts to put her paintings on line. <br /><br />So I'm going to send her your blog and Megan Cleveland's pages (who as you've noticed is doing much better away from Mountainair too). Surely a cautionary tale lies therein.<br /><br />So what do you consider your primary art site?Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147106754335275276.post-9734174943321763962016-03-14T08:17:44.266-04:002016-03-14T08:17:44.266-04:00Yes!
