I once had a fascination with sand. I was living in Sydney at the time...the sand their is heavier than what I was use to on the east coast of the USA. The net result is that I have a few very heavy canvases..but I do enjoy them. I am sorry to hear about your Mac..hope something comes into fruition for you in the near future. Until then....happy creating!<br />Jeanne:)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956786921480316624.post-33683654127146241072010-02-23T18:11:50.092-08:002010-02-23T18:11:50.092-08:00Dear Egmont,

Often, for me, the the journey is more than the destination, which in the end if you had covered the newspaper entirely as you friend Ian did, it would not have mattered. The magical mystery of the covered paper would be yours.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your mac.I was never able to afford one so I bought pc's. Now I own four or five. Because of their price I've been able to upgrade over the years.
